Proposed Notification of "Regulation on Documentation and Storage of Safety Data on Cosmetic Products for Infants and Children" (8 page(s), in Korean)

The Public Notice aims to provide detailed guidance on the documentation and storage of safety data for each product under the cosmetics legislation.

The Public Notice stipulates that cosmetic manufacturers and responsible cosmetic sellers shall compile safety data (such as product dossier, summary of manufacturing process, information on the ingredient, final product and adverse effect) in accordance with the current cosmetics legislation and manage them for each product. It should be noted that the draft regulation does not mandate conducting additional tests or analysis.

Responsible cosmetic sellers may internally determine whether it is appropriate to use an infant's and children's cosmetics on target consumers based on the safety data they compiled for the product concerned.
