Decoding Registration and Notification Requirements for Edible New Cosmetic Ingredients in China

Currently, new cosmetic ingredients (NCIs) in China involves six situation classifications, each with different testing requirements and compliance cycles. Among them, Situation 5, namely NCIs with a history of safe consumption or edible NCIs, has become the preferred type for companies due to relatively simple testing requirements. It is also one of the popular directions for industry research and development in recent years, attracting well-known food companies considering entry into the cosmetics sector.

NCI Situation Classification

So, how to assess if an NCI aligns with Situation 5 criteria? What are the registration and notification specifics for edible NCIs? For global cruelty-free advocates, how to exempt from animal testing during NCI registration and notification?

To help global stakeholders navigate these questions and gaining a comprehensive understanding of edible NCI compliance, ChemLinked has organized this webinar. It will delve into the regulatory background, application requirements for edible NCI, and alternatives to animal testing, facilitating a successful introduction of edible NCIs to the Chinese market.
