China's National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) issued the
country's first mandatory national cosmetics standard, "Cosmetics Safety General
Requirements", to take effect in 2028 and repealing the 1987 Cosmetics Hygiene
Standard. Drafting group head An Fudong said the standard differentiates
controls by exposure route, user group and application site, imposing tighter
limits on children's cosmetics and products for the eye area, eyelashes and
lips.
