According to the concept of whole process supervision, the new regulations strengthen the traceability management requirements of cosmetics raw materials. When applying for the registration and filing of cosmetics, the registrant and the filing person of cosmetics shall clarify the source of raw materials and the quality specifications of raw materials. In case of any change in the source of raw materials or the quality specifications of raw materials, safety assessment shall be conducted and relevant registration and filing information shall be updated. &According to the State Food and drug administration, this will further regulate the behavior of cosmetics registrants and registrants in purchasing raw materials, ensure product safety from the source, and help the regulatory authorities to track the source and control the product quality more efficiently after safety problems occur. pre submitted the effect according to to eliminate false propaganda "use miracle water muscle essence dew, 8 days skin is like a newborn."

According to the SFDA, the draft provides that cosmetic registrants and recorders shall publish the literature, research data or summary of efficacy evaluation materials on the special website prescribed by the drug regulatory department under the State Council for acceptance of social supervision. For the key links in daily supervision, the requirements of the new regulations are also being refined. &In terms of entrusted production, the new regulations stipulate that the registered and filing persons of cosmetics shall be responsible for the quality and safety of products, and the entrusted production enterprises shall be responsible for the production activities; for the network operation, the operation obligations and supervision requirements of platform operators and cosmetics network sellers are respectively stipulated; for the centralized trading market, the establishment of centralized cosmetics trading market is stipulated For beauty salons and hair salons, it stipulates the obligations of purchasing inspection records of beauty salons and hotels, and forbids false declaration of product efficacy.

The draft also stipulates that the SFDA will regularly publish the list of prohibited employees and implement the penalties for illegal producers and operators. &The reporter noted that at present, the relevant departments have proposed that for the use of prohibited raw materials for cosmetics production, illegally adding substances that may endanger human health in cosmetics and other particularly serious illegal acts, if the value of cosmetics illegally produced and operated is less than 10000 yuan, a fine of more than 50000 yuan and less than 150000 yuan can be imposed; if the value of cosmetics is more than 10000 yuan, the value of goods can be imposed If there is a serious illegal act, the legal representative or principal responsible person of the unit shall be fined not less than 3 times but not more than 5 times of the income obtained from the unit in the previous year, or even be prohibited from engaging in cosmetics production and business activities for life; if a crime is constituted, criminal responsibility shall be investigated according to law.
