China’s Cosmetic Supervision and Administration Regulation (CSAR), the country’s landmark cosmetic legislation finalized in 2021, is now entering its critical five-year review. Chinese regulators have announced reforms aimed at reducing barriers, improving registration efficiency, expanding animal testing exemptions, and aligning more closely with global standards.
