Display China's first cosmetics consumer cognitive survey: the quality and safety of Chinese consumers to buy cosmetics are the most attention factors, 7 into the consumer proposed legislation to force disclosure of cosmetic efficacy information.

In December 17th, held in Beijing "2014-HB global beauty makeup summit", "China's first cosmetics consumer cognition investigation report" released, over a million consumers surveyed, 7 into the suggestion of our country legislation should be mandatory open cosmetic efficacy information.

The survey also shows that the quality and safety is the first consideration of Chinese consumers to buy cosmetics, followed by price, efficiency and visibility.

The State Food and drug supervision and management of drug registration management department of administration of cosmetics cosmetics director Qi Liubin said that the maintenance of public health and consumer safety, the State Administration of food and drug supervision and management important duty, and clearly grasp the interests of all parties is weight basis to cosmetic legislation.

Therefore, starting in 2013 the Chinese cosmetics legislative amendments to the work, State Food and Drug Administration drug division cosmetics entrust "health and beauty" magazine, in the national scope and organized the first cosmetics consumer safety cognition situation investigation.

"Health and beauty" magazine company president Duan Jinghua introduction, the survey lasted nearly 4 months, tens of thousands of consumers and more than 500 cosmetics production enterprises, on the cosmetics consumer safety related cognitive and regulatory requirement information collected.

By tens of million copies in 28 class problem data combing, "findings report" show: China's public spending on cosmetics is more rational, pay attention to quality and safety in cosmetics and price factors at the same time, the function of the product claims are becoming the focus. More than 70 percent of the consumer advice, for without efficacy proven products should be mandatory requirements specified in the cosmetic label, in order to protect the consumer's right to know.

"People have called, I have to be", Qi Liu Bin said, "China's first cosmetics consumer cognition investigation report" as is being advanced in cosmetics legislative amendments, provides important reference data, also shows that the revised regulations on cosmetics in China process are substantial into sound and appeal to more consumers.

The efficacy of cosmetics will be explicitly included in the legislative supervision

As an important part of legislation, cosmetics recently, is the national food cosmetics label management approach views drug administration official website "solicitation" (Draft), to be clear requirements: cosmetic function claims should be scientific, true, accurate, there are experimental or evaluation data fully support. Products that the efficacy evaluation of verification mechanism test and report the relevant information can be marked, evaluation and verification of product labeling; without the evaluation and verification, should be in the efficacy claims content end labeled "the above effect without the evaluation and verification" and other words, fonts should not be less than the logo font efficacy claims content description.

Qi Liubin introduced, although as two relative stakeholders, business and consumer demands for legislation often different. But the first cosmetics consumer cognitive investigation shows, in this issue of cosmetics supervision responsibility, enterprises and consumers believe that the quality, safety and efficacy of cosmetics claim, should be listed as the focus of supervision.

"The effect regulation of cosmetics, is one of the most important demands of consumers of cosmetics legislation, but also an important means for enterprises to enhance their core competitiveness of products." Qi Liubin introduces, this is also an important trend of international cosmetics supervision. The EU, South Korea promulgated for the cosmetics publicity, advertising regulations.

Construct expedite cosmetics consumer rights protection channel

"The first survey China cosmetics consumer cognitive report" shows, supervision department received for the cosmetics quality and efficacy issues complaints and feedback less. For example, 32% of respondents said that he encountered adverse reaction to cosmetics; and more than half of the consumers, in the face of adverse reaction to cosmetics, choose "luck"; 22% and 18% consumers, respectively, select the "find businesses theory" and "find CaseTrust complaints", only 5% of consumers think that cosmetic adverse events that should complain to the food and drug regulatory authorities.

Comprehensive surveyed consumers and enterprises demand, "findings report" suggested that as the main regulators of cosmetics, State Food and drug administration, should create smooth cosmetics quality safety and adverse reaction of complaint channel; at the same time, should be entrusted to industry organization, the establishment of a cosmetic quality safety, efficacy, regulatory policies of information disclosure open communication platform.

For the above suggestions, Qi Liubin welcome. He said, generally speaking, cosmetics is a very safe industry, but if some of these enterprises, the legitimate rights and interests of consumers can not protect well, regulatory authorities have the responsibility to construct expedite the rights of channels.

According to the level of risk classified regulation of cosmetics is expected to

As for how to supervise the safety and efficacy of cosmetics, Qi Liubin frankly, reality, can not completely rely on the self-discipline of enterprises.

However, Qi Liu Bin expresses at the same time, between administrative means and market means, regulators tend to through the market means, through supervision and public participation, let the existence of quality safety defects, cosmetics or false propaganda and enterprise of its effect.

"China's first cosmetics consumer cognition investigation report" shows that the respondents, a wide range of cosmetics, can not be generalized, regulators may be based on product risk level, select the pre-market approval or post market surveillance; but on this issue, the majority of the surveyed consumers hold different views, think not safe cosmetics will have on the human body harm, all cosmetics, shall be borne by the supervision departments strict examination and approval to be listed.

The above differences, Qi Liubin said different aspects, cognition, legislation departments should rational evaluation, comprehensive balance of consumer and business demand, but the ultimate goal is to protect the cosmetics consumer safety and health rights and interests of the public.

"Our goal is to make law-abiding person feel regulators exist, let offenders feel we are everywhere", Qi Liu Bin said.

Imported cosmetics must use safe country of origin in sales?

Official: will be based on the consumer opinion evaluation adjustment

By the end of 2013, the State Food and drug administration has issued a document to reiterate: imported products must be in the country of origin has been listed for sale in the market before entering the China.

"The first survey China cosmetics consumer cognitive report" shows, more than 50% of consumers think that must be after the country of origin sales safe use, to enter the sales Chinese market. But at the same time, there are 50% not to consumers, recognized some cosmetics "listed" synchronous global strategy.

Qi Liubin said, the future, whether the adjustment of the policy, regulatory authorities will consumer demands and opinions, as one of the important basis, re thinking, evaluation.
