If the content does not exceed 0.1%, it shall be listed as "other trace components"
Latest company news about If the content does not exceed 0.1%, it shall be listed as "other trace components"

On June 3, 2021, the official website of the State Food and Drug Administration officially released the measures for the administration of cosmetics labels, one of the most striking provisions is that it is necessary to label all ingredients; The other is that components with a content of no more than 0.1% (w / W) should be listed as "other trace components".

 
Article 7 clearly stipulates that the Chinese label of cosmetics must indicate all ingredients, so as to make the product more transparent in front of consumers. However, some people have raised concerns that if there are too many ingredients in the product, especially some preservative ingredients, will it be impossible to write down?
 
In addition, Article 12 stipulates that if there are ingredients with a content of no more than 0.1% (w / W) in the cosmetic formula, all ingredients with a content of no more than 0.1% (w / W) shall be separately marked with "other trace ingredients" as the guide, and may not be listed in descending order of ingredient content. Where a formula is filled in the form of compound or mixed raw materials, the content of each component in the formula shall be used as the basis for ranking the component content and judging whether it is a trace component.
 
Previously, after the release of the draft for comments, the provision caused great controversy. The focus of controversy is that many active ingredients only need a small amount to achieve good results. Adding more will cause side effects, such as retinol. If the concentration is high, it may lead to face rot due to intolerance. However, according to the new regulations, such active ingredients should be listed as "other trace ingredients" in the label, which is easy for consumers to mistakenly think that the addition amount is too small to achieve good results.
 
Of course, Zhengfang believes that this provision can effectively crack down on the "conceptual addition" and make it impossible for brands that claim to have added some functional ingredients but are actually far from reaching the effective content. And educate consumers to understand that some active substances, even if added in trace amounts, have good effects, which is what the brand should do.
 
In any case, now that it is done, the brand should start to prepare countermeasures. According to regulations, from May 1, 2022, cosmetics applying for registration or filing must comply with the provisions and requirements of the measures for the administration of cosmetics labels; If the cosmetics previously applied for registration or filing fail to be labeled in accordance with the provisions of the measures for the administration of cosmetics labels, the cosmetics registrant and filing person must update the product labels before May 1, 2023 to make them comply with the provisions and requirements of the measures.
