Through basic research, rapid testing, clinical testing, and technical specifications, we will jointly overcome difficult problems in cosmetics supervision, provide more high-standard technical advice, and fill in the gaps in the current national cosmetics safety standards.

2. Coincidentally, only for the same vision of the cosmetics industry

Ms. Leng Qunying, chairman of BAWEI, warmly welcomed the guests and delivered a speech: Under the new regulations, the industry is entering the era of efficacy, and product safety is the most basic requirement for the industry. The establishment of the joint key laboratory has played a positive role in the positive development of the industry, and it is also a strong backing for the high-quality development of Chinese cosmetics. This coincides with the idea that Bawei invests a lot of money and energy in the testing sector every year, just to "create high-quality and reliable products and make outstanding contributions to the beauty and health of human beings".
