🇨🇳 China is making cosmetic market entry more efficient for global beauty brands. On July 29, 2026, China's National Medical Products Administration (#NMPA) released Announcement No. 70 of 2026, introducing 8 new measures to optimize cosmetic registration and notification management, including changes across global product first launches, animal testing requirements, ingredient information management, efficacy evaluation, and other regulatory changes. 👀 Several updates are particularly significant for international brands: ✨ Faster First Launches for Global Innovations China-first and simultaneous global launches will benefit from simplified submission requirements, helping reduce delays between international and China markets. ✨ Expanded Animal Testing Exemptions More cosmetic categories may qualify for animal-testing exemptions under specific conditions, providing greater flexibility for global brands that align with international regulatory practices. ✨ Shared Evaluation Data for Similar Products Brands may reduce repetitive testing by sharing safety and efficacy evaluation data among similar products, improving product development efficiency and accelerating market launches. For global cosmetic brands, these changes create new opportunities—but also require a deeper understanding of how to adapt compliance strategies in China.
