China Cosmetics Regulatory Compliance Partner

We are a specialized regulatory consultancy dedicated to China cosmetics compliance, supporting global beauty groups, investors, and emerging brands in navigating China’s complex regulatory landscape.

With deep expertise in the Cosmetics Supervision and Administration Regulation (CSAR) and its implementation rules, we deliver practical, execution-driven compliance solutions that enable products and ingredients to enter and remain in the Chinese market legally, efficiently, and sustainably.

What We Do

We provide end-to-end regulatory support across the full product lifecycle, covering both domestic and imported cosmetics, from early-stage R&D decisions to post-market compliance.

Our core services include:

• Finished cosmetic product registration and filing
• New cosmetic ingredient registration and filing
• Ingredient safety information submission code applications
• Cosmetic and ingredient safety assessment
• Formula, label, and ingredient compliance review

Finished Product Market Entry

China operates a dual regulatory system for cosmetics, distinguishing Special Cosmetics and General Cosmetics, each subject to different pre-market approval and post-market obligations.

We manage the entire market entry process on behalf of brand owners and corporate groups, including:

• Regulatory pathway assessment and classification
• Full dossier preparation and authority submission
• Ongoing communication with regulatory authorities
• Post-market maintenance, renewals, and annual compliance reporting

Our approach minimizes approval risks and ensures predictable timelines for China market launches.

New Cosmetic Ingredients

Under CSAR, any cosmetic ingredient first used in China must obtain regulatory clearance prior to commercialization.

We support ingredient developers and brand groups with:

• Strategic assessment of registration vs. filing pathways
• Preparation of complete technical and safety dossiers
• Coordination of required testing and safety evaluations
• Regulatory engagement through approval or filing completion

Our experience spans both high-risk functional ingredients and general cosmetic ingredients.

Ingredient Safety Information & Submission Codes

China requires finished product filings to be linked to ingredient safety information submitted by ingredient manufacturers, via an official submission code published on the NMPA platform.

We assist ingredient manufacturers and authorized entities with:

• Platform onboarding and authorization setup
• Preparation and submission of compliant safety information
• Regulatory follow-up through code issuance and public disclosure

This service enables smooth downstream product registration for brand customers.

Safety Assessment Services

Safety assessment is a mandatory regulatory requirement in China for both finished products and new ingredients.

Our qualified assessors deliver:

• Ingredient safety assessment reports
• Finished product safety assessment reports, including for children’s cosmetics
• Scientifically robust, regulator-accepted evaluations aligned with China’s official technical guidelines

All assessments follow internationally recognized risk assessment principles.

Formula, Label & Ingredient Compliance Review

Regulatory non-compliance at the formula or labeling stage is a leading cause of rejection in China.

We provide pre-submission compliance reviews to:

• Identify prohibited or restricted ingredients
• Verify new ingredient usage status and documentation
• Ensure full alignment with China’s mandatory labeling requirements
• Support localization of imported products for the Chinese market

This proactive approach significantly reduces regulatory and commercial risk.
