Free Webinar: Major Changes in Cosmetic Regulations in Taiwan, China

On May 2, 2018, the Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (TFDA) under the Ministry of Health and Welfare of Taiwan, China, passed an amendment, changing the "Cosmetic Hygiene Control Act" to the "Cosmetic Hygiene and Safety Act." Article 5 of the Act establishes a five-year transition period for the inspection and registration system of cosmetics with specific uses, which will be abolished on July 1, 2024. Specific-use cosmetics refer to those intended for purposes such as sun protection, hair dyeing, perming, antiperspirant deodorizing, teeth whitening, or other uses.
