The regulations on the supervision and administration of cosmetics (hereinafter referred to as the regulations) was officially promulgated on June 29 this year, and will be formally implemented on January 1, 2021.

For example, according to the regulations, cosmetic advertisements shall not express or imply that the products have medical effects, and shall not contain false or misleading contents.
Li Jinju, director general of the cosmetics supervision department, said that the current regulations on cosmetics hygiene supervision have relatively light legal responsibilities, while the new regulations have increased the punishment for illegal acts and added the stipulation of "punishing the person to the person" to impose a fine on the legal representative or principal responsible person, directly responsible person in charge and other directly responsible personnel of a serious illegal unit It is forbidden to engage in cosmetics production and business activities for a period of up to life.
In view of the current trend of online consumption development, the regulations specify the responsibilities of e-commerce platforms, requiring the operators of e-commerce platforms to register the real names of cosmetics operators in the platforms and undertake the management responsibilities of cosmetics operators on the platforms.
Yan Jiangying said that the drug regulatory authorities will further speed up the improvement of regulations, systems and standard systems for cosmetics, innovate governance models and methods, strictly implement the main responsibility of enterprise quality and safety, and strengthen risk prevention and control.
