The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety is promoting various policy support for overseas expansion of domestic cosmetics, especially support for sunscreen. In the United States, sunscreens are managed as over-the-counter drugs, so seminars and others have been supported to obtain certification for the domestic cosmetics industry. This year, it also plans to continue to help domestic sunscreen manufacturers enter the U.S. market by providing customized 1:1 consulting and intensive training to train GMP experts.
Meanwhile, the proportion of sunscreen was also found to be the largest in the functional cosmetics review conducted by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.
According to the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, sunscreen screening was the most common in 2024 following 2023, accounting for about 46.9% of single functional products. The number of hair dye screening increased significantly from 52 in 2023 to 166 in 2024.
The total number of functional cosmetics reviews in 2024 was 964 (760 manufactured and 204 imported), up 20 (2.1%) from 2023 (944), followed by sunscreen (321), hair dye (166), triple functional (158), and cosmetics (72) to help ease hair loss symptoms.
Cosmetics that restore the function of the skin barrier and help improve itching have also been steadily developed.
By formulation, in addition to liquids, lotions, and creams, various products such as hydrogels, cushions, and double-layer (a formulation in which two or more layers are separated because of oil and water-based ingredients in multi-layer and one product).
Among the functional cosmetics in 2024, the new main ingredients were cosmetics with the function of alleviating or improving skin wrinkles, cosmetics that help relieve hair loss symptoms, cosmetics that help relieve acne-prone skin, and hair dye.
The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety expects that functional cosmetics screening statistics will be used as basic data for product development and system improvement, and plans to regularly analyze and present the status of functional cosmetics screening in the future.
