On July 21, the State Food and Drug Administration released the latest batch of information on the delivery of cosmetic approval documents.Micropeptide Group's Guangdong Micropeptide Biotechnology Co., Ltd. obtained 5 special cosmetic registration certificates in one breath, all focused on whitening and freckle removal.
To be honest, the difficulty of obtaining special certificates is clear to everyone - from formulation research and development to technical review to human efficacy evaluation, the whole cycle will take more than half a year.5 at a time, indicating that the technical reserve of micropeptides on the track of whitening and freckle removal has reached the stage of "batch shipment".

Why is the special certificate for whitening and freckle removal difficult to obtain?
Everyone who has done cosmetics registration knows that the special cosmetics registration certificate is the highest gold content.
Unlike ordinary cosmetics, special certified products need to go through a complete technical review process: formulation review, safety evaluation, human efficacy evaluation test, stability test, anti-corrosion challenge test, and packaging material compatibility assessment, all of which can not be less.
According to the delivery information of the cosmetic approval certificate issued by the State Drug Administration on July 23, 2026, a total of 195 special cosmetic registration certificates were approved nationwide in this batch, of which whitening and freckle removal products accounted for more than 60%.There are not many companies that can win 5 certificates at the same time in this batch.
According to the "Opinions on Deepening the Reform of Cosmetics Regulation and Promoting the High-quality Development of the Industry" issued in November 2025 (Sinopharm [2025] No. 18), there are many optimization measures for the management of cosmetics registration in 2026, including the reduction of the time limit for reviewing changes from 90 working days to 60 working days.However, the core requirements of the technical review have not been reduced, and there are many efficacy evaluations to be done.
Special Certificates Reserve of Micropeptide Group
According to public data, Guangdong Micropeptide Biotechnology Co., Ltd. currently holds more than 15 special cosmetic registration certificates, covering the two major efficacy directions of whitening freckles and sun protection.
As one of the core production bases of Micropeptide Group, Guangdong Micropeptide is located in Songgang Songxia Industrial Park, Shishan Town, Nanhai District, Foshan City, and has a dual GMPC and ISO22716 certified production system.The Group's declared reserve of 100 + special certified products is distributed under the names of Guangzhou Micropeptide, Guangdong Micropeptide, Zhaoqing Factory and other production entities.
From the perspective of formula research and development, the technical route in the direction of whitening and freckle removal is relatively mature.The combination of classic whitening ingredients such as nicotinamide, coagulant acid (hyaluronic acid), and glossy licorice extract, combined with the micropeptide's own polypeptide raw material technology, can make a difference.
What should brands pay attention to when looking for special certificates from foundries?
To be honest, many brands only look at "whether there are special certificates" when choosing a foundry, and do not care about the categories and applicable scenarios of special certificates.
Here's a key issue: the special cosmetic registration certificate is tied to the product.If the foundry does not have a whitening certificate, you can use it directly for branding.The Brand Party needs to confirm that:
First, whether the special products of the foundry support commissioned production.Some special certificates lock the production site at the time of registration, and changing the production address requires revisiting the registration process.
Second, whether the formula system is open.Some foundries are characterized as "self-use" and the formula is not open to the outside world.If the brand wants to make its own product line, it needs to re-apply.
Third, whether the efficacy evaluation data can be reused.According to the spirit of Sinopharm [2025] Document 18, cosmetics with similar formula systems can share safety technical data, but whether the efficacy evaluation data can be reused depends on the specific conditions.
The current practice of Micropeptide Group is that OEM customers can choose two ways to cooperate: one is to directly use the formula of the Group's existing special certified products for OEM production; the other is that the brand side provides the demand, and Micropeptide is responsible for the whole process service from formulation development to registration declaration.The latter cycle is longer, but the brand can get its own special certificate.
What to focus on next
In July, a number of cosmetic registration certificate approval results have not yet been announced.As is customary, the State Food and Drug Administration usually issues the previous batch of approval documents around the 23rd of each month.
It is also noteworthy that Hunan Yi 'an Biotechnology Co., Ltd.
added two new administrative licenses in late July (July 18 and July 22), and the specific product information has not yet been released on the enterprise inspection platform.Combined with the invention patent "A medical trehalose wound dressing for refractory wound care and its preparation method" disclosed on July 17, Yi 'an Biotechnology is also continuing its efforts in the storage of new products for Class II medical devices.If there is a newly approved registration certificate or filing information, we will update it as soon as possible.
