Service overview

The cosmetics category of the NMPA data search (数据查询). The old address (nmpa.gov.cn/datasearch) has been retired; on 2026-10-19 it pointed to datasearch.nmpa.gov.cn. The cosmetics category covers domestic and imported special-use cosmetic registrations, new ingredient registrations and filings, manufacturers, general cosmetic filings and the list of ingredients already in use. The imported general-cosmetics filing search takes a product name, filing number or domestic responsible party (境内责任人) plus a verification code.
