Camellia chekiangoleosa Seed Oil is listed in the Personal Care Products Council (PCPC) INCI directory, where it is recognized for its functions as a Hair Conditioning Agent and a Skin Conditioning Agent – Miscellaneous.
The notifier, Forest Cabin, is one of the earliest skincare brands to promote Camellia chekiangoleosa (red camellia) as a core skincare ingredient.

N-Acetylneuraminic Acid, also known as Sialic Acid, is a natural sugar found on human cells and in substances such as breast milk and edible bird's nest. It has gained popularity as an active ingredient in cosmetics due to its unique biological benefits.
In cosmetics, N-Acetylneuraminic Acid was the first new cosmetic ingredient notified under China's Cosmetic Supervision and Administration Regulation (CSAR) in June 2021. To date, it has been notified four times, three of which have already entered the safety monitoring period—meaning cosmetic products containing N-Acetylneuraminic Acid have completed China NMPA registration or notification.
