As per the Cosmetics Supervision and Administration Regulations (CSAR), cosmetics efficacy claims must be supported by a solid scientific foundation. Cosmetic registrants and filers are required to submit a summary of research data or product efficacy evaluations to the NMPA-designated platform for public review and monitoring.
The registrants and filers are responsible for ensuring that the submitted summary is scientifically accurate, reliable, and traceable.
Exemptions from Efficacy Evaluation
Certain cosmetic products do not require efficacy evaluation. These include products such as:
- Products for cleaning, makeup removal, beauty and modification, fragrance, refreshing, hair dyeing, hair perming, hair color care, depilation, deodorization, and auxiliary shaving.
- Whitening products, exfoliators, and deep pore cleansers (when labeled as having physical effects only).
