New Prohibited Ingredient Use in Taiwanese Cosmetic Products
The amendments to the “List of Ingredients Prohibited from Using in the Cosmetic Products” were made on April 27, 2022, by the Ministry of Health and Welfare of Taiwan. The statement stipulates that cosmetics should not contain mercury, lead, or other ingredients banned for use by the central competent authority, formulated from the upper-level law of the List, Article 6, Paragraph 1 of the Cosmetic Hygiene and Safety Act.
Conclusively, the manufacture, importation, sale, supply, or display (for the purpose of sale or supply) of cosmetics that contain the ingredients listed in the statement is prohibited. This revision mainly focused on 4 ingredients - Alanroot oil (Inula helenium L.), Rauwolfia serpentina L., alkaloids and their salts, Yohimbine and its salts, and Tripterygium wilfordii Hook.f., which together with the newly-revised list will come into effect from July 1, 2022.
