Last year, Chinese shoppers accounted for 35% of 281 billion euros ($317 billion) last year in global luxury spending, most of which has typically occurred overseas or in Hong Kong.

China Will End Mandatory Pre-Market Animal Testing in 2021

July 6, 2020

Effective January 1st, 2021, animal testing will be removed as a mandatory measure for imported cosmetics entering the Chinese market. The new regulations would mean that pre-market testing is no longer necessary for new products, though testing is still a possibility in post-market or in “special” products like hair dye. The law won’t be set in stone until it passes through a period of public review, but experts are confident. Are you a clean beauty brand that’s looking at China?
