What happens
China's first mandatory national standard for cosmetics, published on 6 August 2026, replaces GB 7916-1987, which had been in use for 39 years. Products manufactured or imported before the standard takes effect may be sold until the end of their shelf life.
02
What to do
With about 17 months between publication and application, brands and manufacturers should use this period to align formulations and labels. Overseas brands exporting to China should also assess the impact.
