Cosmetics Compliance Consulting
WESSLING’s is dedicated to providing comprehensive product safety and compliance services to cosmetics suppliers, manufacturers, and distributors.
Cosmetics launched in China must comply with strict registration and filing requirements, with clear legal provisions governing labeling, efficacy claims, safety assessments, and overall compliance. The “Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Cosmetics” stipulate that special-use cosmetics are subject to registration, while general-use cosmetics are subject to filing. Registrants and filers of cosmetics are responsible for the quality, safety, and efficacy claims of their products.
WESSLING’s cosmetics compliance experts have in-depth knowledge of the regulatory framework and evolving requirements of the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) and can provide practical, customized compliance solutions tailored to your product type and market launch plans.
Our Cosmetics Consulting Services
Our consulting services comprehensively cover the entire process, from compliance pre-review to product launch support. Our core services include:
Check of Cosmetic Labels and Efficacy Claims
In accordance with the *Administrative Measures for Cosmetics Labeling*, each item on the product label—including the full list of ingredients, the basis for the product name, the expiration date, and safety warnings—is reviewed to ensure that the information is lawful, truthful, complete, and accurate, and consistent with the registered and filed information. At the same time, we verify that efficacy claims comply with the scope of efficacy specified in the *Rules and Classification Catalog for Cosmetics* to prevent misleading statements.
Cosmetics Marketability and Compliance Assessment
Based on product formulations, dosage forms, intended areas of use, and claimed benefits, we assess a product’s compliance status and market eligibility in the target market. We provide compliance pathway assessments and pre-market preparation recommendations, taking into account the distinct registration or filing requirements for special-use cosmetics (hair dye, hair perm, skin-lightening and spot-removal, sunscreen, anti-hair loss, and products claiming new benefits) and general cosmetics.
Review of Cosmetic Advertising Claims
In accordance with the requirements of the Advertising Law, the Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Cosmetics, and the Guidelines for Cosmetics Advertising, we review efficacy claims and brand statements in product advertising copy and marketing materials. We focus on screening for non-compliant expressions such as “medical terminology,” “absolute statements,” and “false or misleading content” to ensure that efficacy claims are supported by sufficient literature, research data, or efficacy evaluation test data, and that advertising content aligns with registered and filed information, thereby mitigating compliance risks.
Cosmetics Registration and Filing Support
We provide guidance and assistance throughout the registration process for special-use cosmetics and the filing process for general-use cosmetics, offering end-to-end support that includes preparing product formulations, drafting product standards, reviewing product label drafts, compiling product test reports, and submitting safety assessment documentation. This ensures that all application materials are complete and compliant, thereby shortening the time to market.
Cosmetic Safety Assessment
We provide authoritative expert technical reports on complex compliance issues—covering formulation analysis, raw material safety and toxicological assessments, identification of hazardous substances, and recommendations for control measures—to offer high-quality technical documentation in support of product registration, filing, and responses to market regulatory inquiries.
Cosmetics Expert Recommendations and Reports
In accordance with the requirements of the *Technical Guidelines for Cosmetic Safety Assessment (2021 Edition)* and the National Medical Products Administration’s regulations on the classification and management of safety assessment documentation, we conduct either a full or simplified safety assessment. The assessment covers the safety evaluation of all ingredients in the product formulation, the evaluation of potentially hazardous substances, an evaluation of preservative efficacy (if applicable), an explanation of stability test results, and an assessment of the compatibility between the product and packaging materials. We then issue a safety assessment report that complies with the prescribed format and contains all necessary information.
Cosmetic Packaging Testing and Consulting
In accordance with mandatory national standards such as GB 5296.3 “Instructions for Use of Consumer Products—General Labeling of Cosmetics,” we conduct compliance reviews of the format, basic principles, and labeling content of sales packaging, including labeling for the smallest unit of sale, labeling on packaging containers in direct contact with the contents, requirements for Chinese labeling, and corresponding explanations for foreign-language labels. We also provide consulting services on packaging material compatibility testing and label durability to ensure the compliance and integrity of both the packaging and the brand.
Drawing on China’s cosmetic regulatory framework, WESSLING provides in-depth analysis of the *Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Cosmetics* and related regulations, guiding you through the entire compliance process—from raw material evaluation to filing and registration, and from label review to efficacy claims.
