On November 15, 2024, NIFDC released the "Information on the use of raw materials for marketed products (Updated draft for comments). What is the difference compared to the current "Information on the use of raw materials for marketed products" (April 30 version)?
First, the raw material information is richer. Compared with the "Information on the Use of Raw Materials of Listed Products" (April 30 edition), the "Information on the Use of Raw Materials of Listed Products (Updated draft for comments)" (November 15 edition) has expanded its coverage from special cosmetics to general cosmetics, and the number of raw materials included has increased by 1,344 to 3,578, and the usage information has increased to 5,240 items, with richer information content.
Second, the data usage principles are more detailed. The "Information on the Use of Raw Materials of Marketed Products (Updated draft for comments)" (November 15th version) describes the use principle of the same raw material for the same method of use as follows: the order of the whole body, trunk, face (including neck), hands and feet, head, hair, lips, eyes, and nails can be used. The latter part of the action site can refer to the amount of raw materials used in the previous action site, but when the product action site is the eye and the amount of use is referenced to other parts, the eye irritation needs to be evaluated separately. Among them, the lips and eyes cannot refer to the amount of raw materials used in the hands and feet, head, and hair. Body hair can only refer to the amount of raw materials used in the whole body or trunk. If the action site is both the head and hair, the amount of raw materials used in the head can be referred to; if the action site is both the face (including neck), eyes and/or lips, the amount of raw materials used in the face (including neck) can be referred to. When the action site includes the eyes, the eye irritation needs to be evaluated separately; for the amount of raw materials used in other products that are used in multiple action sites at the same time, the amount of the upper-level action site with the same method of use should be selected. Compared with the "Information on the Use of Raw Materials for Marketed Products" (April 30 edition), the usage principles are more detailed and the data utilization is higher.
Third, the usage of some raw materials has increased. The usage of some raw materials in the "Information on the Use of Raw Materials of Listed Products (Updated draft for comments)" (November 15th version) has changed. For example, the usage of PINUS STROBUS bark extract in the "Information on the Use of Raw Materials of Listed Products" (April 30th version) is 0.000025% for the use of the whole body skin and the method of use is resident. However, the usage of PINUS STROBUS bark extract in the "Information on the Use of Raw Materials of Listed Products (Updated draft for comments)" (November 15th version) is 0.6% for the use of the whole body skin and the method of use is resident.
