On September 5, 2025, China's National Institutes for Food and Drug Control (NIFDC) issued a public consultation notice on two draft technical guidelines concerning the research and quality control of anti-hair loss cosmetics. These guidelines aim to provide clearer technical direction for product development, safety assessment, and quality standards for high-risk cosmetic categories—commonly referred to as special cosmetics under China's regulatory framework.
The consultation is open for public feedback until September 20, 2025. Comments can be submitted via email to hzppjzx@nifdc.org.cn
