Application and Evaluation of new cosmetic ingredients guide

This guide is intended to guide the declaration of new cosmetic ingredients and review.

First, the definition of new cosmetic ingredients
New cosmetic raw material is used in cosmetics in the country for the first time the production of natural or artificial materials.

Second, the security requirements of new cosmetic ingredients
New cosmetic ingredients in the normal and reasonable foreseeable conditions of use shall not cause harm to human health.
Toxicological evaluation of new information on cosmetic ingredients should include toxicological safety evaluation review, the necessary toxicology testing information security risks and possible materials for safety assessment data.
Cosmetics raw materials are generally in need of new toxicology tests following:
(A) acute oral and acute dermal toxicity test;
(B) the skin and acute eye irritation / corrosion test;
(C) the skin allergy test;
(D) and light-sensitive skin phototoxicity test (UV absorption properties of raw materials has to be done when the trial);
(E) mutation test (should at least include a gene mutation test and a chromosome aberration test);
(F) sub-chronic oral and dermal toxicity test;
(G) teratogenic test;
(H) chronic toxicity / carcinogenicity test combination;
(Ix) toxicokinetics and dynamics test;
(X) according to the characteristics and use of raw materials, but also consider other necessary tests. If the new material has been used in cosmetics and chemical structure and properties of similar materials, you can consider reducing some of the test.
This guide provides information for the principle requirements of toxicology tests, according to the physical and chemical properties of raw materials, QSAR, toxicology, clinical research, epidemiology and population similar to the toxicity of compounds, such as information a pilot project to increase or reduce .

Third, new cosmetic ingredients administrative licensing requirements for disclosure of information
Apply for new cosmetic ingredients cosmetic administrative license shall accept the administrative licensing requirements to submit information returns. Specific requirements are as follows:

Natural raw materials should also provide the Latin scientific name.
(2) Source: raw materials should not be a compound formed in the material due to unavoidable technical reasons, the existence of solvents, stabilizers, carriers, etc., except.
Natural materials should be a single source, and provides the use of parts and so on. All plants have been allowed to be used as cosmetic raw materials, not all parts of the plant material and then a new declaration.
(3) molecular weight, molecular formula, chemical structure: chemical structure should provide the basis for confirmation (eg, NMR, elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, infrared spectra, etc.) and analytical results, should also provide polymer relative to the average molecular weight and its distribution.
(4) physical and chemical properties include: color, odor, state, solubility, melting point, boiling point, specific gravity, vapor pressure, pH value, pKa value, refractive index, optical rotation and so on.
3 ingredients in cosmetics intended use, scope of use for security and the use of limited basis, cautions, warnings, etc.
4 ingredients in a foreign country (region) is used in cosmetics case descriptions.
(C) the production process description and diagram
Should indicate the new cosmetic raw materials to produce the major steps involved in the process, procedures and parameters, such as raw materials should be listed, the reaction conditions (temperature, pressure, etc.), additives (catalysts, stabilizers), intermediates and by-products and the preparation steps etc.; the case of natural extracts, should indicate the processing, extraction method, extraction conditions, the use of solvents, may be residual impurities or solvent.
(D) raw material quality and safety control requirements
Should include specifications, test methods, there may be a security risk substances and control measures and so on.
1. Specifications include: purity or content of impurity species and their respective content (residual monomer and polymer content to be described) and other indicators of quality and safety control, due to unavoidable technical reasons exist in the raw materials of solvent, stabilizer, carrier, etc. types and their respective content, other physical and chemical parameters, shelf life and storage conditions; the case of natural plant extracts, should be clear indicators of its quality and safety control.
2 detection methods: qualitative and quantitative material testing methods, testing methods impurities.
3 possible security risk substances and their control measures.
(E) toxicological safety evaluation data (including raw materials, there may be security risks in the safety assessment of material information)
Toxicology test data can be the applicant's test data, scientific literature and domestic and foreign government official website, the content of websites of international organizations.
1 apply for new cosmetic ingredients, cosmetics, new materials generally should be required to submit safety data toxicology tests.
(2) one of the following circumstances, according to the following requirements to submit toxicology test data. According to the characteristics and use of raw materials, if necessary, may request an increase or reduction related to experimental data.
(1) who do not have preservatives, sunscreens, colorants and dyes, and functional ingredients from a safety point of view not included in the "Hygienic Standard for Cosmetics" Restricted substances tables new cosmetic raw materials, should submit the following information:
1) The acute oral and acute dermal toxicity test;
2) skin and acute eye irritation / corrosion test;
3) skin allergy test;
4) and light-sensitive skin phototoxicity test (UV absorption properties of raw materials has to be done when the two trials);

1 safety evaluation of information content is complete and consistent information requirements;
2 based on whether the scientific, critical data is reasonable, analysis is logical, conclusion is correct;
