China’s cosmetics regulatory landscape is evolving once again. Just five years after implementing its landmark Cosmetic Supervision and Administration Regulation (CSAR), Chinese regulators are advancing another round of reforms that could reshape product registration, animal testing requirements, regulatory compliance, and market access for U.S. cosmetics and personal care companies.

To help members navigate these important developments, the Personal Care Products Council recently hosted an exclusive webinar featuring John C. Balzano, Partner at Covington and advisor to PCPC on China cosmetic regulatory affairs.

As the third-largest export market for U.S. cosmetics and personal care products, China remains a critical destination for American manufacturers. Understanding the latest regulatory developments is essential for companies seeking to maintain market access, reduce compliance risks, and identify new export opportunities.

During the webinar, John provides an in-depth overview of:

• The evolution of China’s Cosmetic Supervision and Administration Regulation (CSAR)
• Key implementing rules and how they have reshaped the regulatory framework
• China’s latest proposals to reform CSAR and what they signal for the future
• The potential impact on product registration, animal testing, and market access for U.S. exporters
