Facing growing demand for cosmetics product claim substantiation in China, SGS has opened a new cosmetics clinical site in Xiamen, China.
Why has demand risen?
The increased demand for cosmetics product testing is a direct result of China's new Cosmetic Supervision and Administration Regulation. These measures, which have been issued by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA), came into effect on May 1, 2021.
The recently introduced 'Guideline for Cosmetic Efficacy Claim Evaluation' has set new standards for product safety and efficacy testing claims. Now, all cosmetics manufacturers – whether they are looking to sell 'general' or 'special' products – must be able to prove their products' efficacy.

Our new Xiamen site will focus on tests seeking to validate anti-acne, nourishing, repairing, anti-wrinkle, oil control, skin firmness, moisturization, and hydration claims. We aim to further expand our scope of product solutions in the near future.
