On June 24,2025, China's National Institutes for Food and Drug Control (NIFDC) has released nine draft cosmetic standards for public consultation. These include the General Principles for Physicochemical Testing Methods, among others, and aim to further improving the cosmetic technical standards. The public consultation period will remain open until July 15, 2025.

Detailed standards as follows:

• General Principles for Physicochemical Testing Methods (Draft fot Comment)

• Determination of Cannabidiol (CBD) and Other 5 kinds of Components in Cosmetics (Draft fot Comment)

• Skin Sensitization: Local Lymph Node Assay: BrdU-Flow Cytometry Method（LLNA:BrdU-FCM）(Draft fot Comment)

• Toxicokinetics (Draft fot Comment)

• General Technical Requirements for Biotechnology-derived Ingredients (Draft fot Comment)

• General Technical Requirements for Plant Origin Ingredients (Draft fot Comment)

• Cosmetic Ingredients Centella Asiatica Extract (Draft fot Comment)

• Cosmetic Ingredients Copper Tripeptide-1 (Draft fot Comment)

• Cosmetic ingredients AcetyL Hexapeptide-8 (Draft fot Comment)

Given the relatively limited number of existing standards related to cosmetic ingredients—currently including 4 recommended national standards (GB/T), 13 industry standards (QB/T), and 94 group standards (T/…)—the release of these draft documents represents a continued step in China's ongoing efforts to gradually strengthen its technical framework for cosmetic ingredients.
