Three Standards, Including o-Phenylphenol and Its Salts, to be Incorporated into the Safety and Technical Standards for Cosmetics
Updated: May 22
The National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) has drafted three standards, including o-Phenylphenol and Its Salts, which have been reviewed and approved by the Director Meeting of the Cosmetic Standardization Technical Committee under the NMPA. These standards are hereby released and incorporated into the corresponding chapters of the Safety and Technical Standards for Cosmetics (2015 Edition) (see Appendix 1).
The revised standards, o-Phenylphenol and Its Salts, Acid Violet 43 (CI 60730), and Mercury and Its Compounds (see Appendices 2–4), replace the existing provisions in the Safety and Technical Standards for Cosmetics (2015 Edition).
The two standards, o-Phenylphenol and Its Salts and Acid Violet 43 (CI 60730), will come into force on June 1, 2028. The standard Mercury and Its Compounds will come into force on July 1, 2026.
Prior to the implementation of the above standards, cosmetics that have already been produced or imported may be sold until the end of their shelf life. Registrants, filers, and manufacturers are encouraged to implement the above standards ahead of schedule.
It is hereby announced.

Good to see the NMPA moving forward with o-Phenylphenol standards—this fills a real gap for preservative safety in cosmetics. Curious if the appendix clarifies testing methods for salts, since that’s often where compliance gets tricky. I’ve been tracking updates like this through https://perchance-ai-image.com
Good to see the NMPA moving forward with o-Phenylphenol standards—this fills a real gap for preservative safety assessments. Curious how this aligns with the EU's current limits, and I've been tracking updates on this via https://photo-generator-ai.com
Good to see the NMPA moving on o-Phenylphenol—this closes a real gap in preservative oversight. Curious how this aligns with the EU's current concentration limits, though. I've been tracking updates like this via https://faceless-video.net

Good to see o-Phenylphenol getting its own standard—this tightens the safety framework for preservatives in cosmetics. Curious how this aligns with the EU’s existing restrictions on it. For tracking these updates, I've been using https://image-to-video.org
