On April 15, China's National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) released six technical guidelines to further standardize the research and evaluation of hair dye, perming, and sunscreen products.
The six guidelines are:
Technical Guidelines for Hair Dye Cosmetics (Trial)
Technical Guidelines for Quality Control of Hair Dye Cosmetics (Trial)
Technical Guidelines for Perming Cosmetics (Trial)
Technical Guidelines for Quality Control of Perming Cosmetics (Trial)
Technical Guidelines for Sunscreen Cosmetics (Trial)
Technical Guidelines for Quality Control of Sunscreen Cosmetics (Trial)
These trial guidelines close a key regulatory gap by introducing category-specific standards for hair dye, perming, and sunscreen products. They aim to align industry practices, shift the focus from marketing-driven concepts to science-based development, and raise overall safety and quality standards.
At the same time, they will increase R&D demands, testing requirements, and dossier complexity. Companies should promptly review existing products, refine formulations and processes, and ensure compliant labeling and claims. More attention should also be given to ingredient interactions, impurity control, and efficacy substantiation, alongside strengthening raw material management and quality control systems to support compliant registration and market entry.
