Oils, emulsifiers, functional powders and others are monopolized by more than 90% of foreign companies and active substances, humectants, preservatives, essential oils and others are monopolized by 75% of foreign companies.
However, under China's current new supervision and new requirements, China's cosmetic raw materials will usher in an opportunity and change. This is the first time that cosmetic innovation has risen to China's national strategic position. A series of policies of the National Medical Products Administration has provided the necessary environment for innovation.
