On April 7th , 2023, China and the French issued a joint declaration, which, in particular, refers to the provision of fair and non-discriminatory conditions of competition for companies in the field of cosmetics. This is one of the important achievements of French President Emmanuel Macron's visit to China, which also means that China-France cosmetics cooperation has entered a new field.

On this occasion, L 'Oreal is the first to launch a French start-up and SME incubation platform. In fact, not only L 'Oreal, but also French cosmetics companies have been expanding their market in China in recent years, making France once again the largest importer of cosmetics from China. After this joint statement, many insiders believe that French cosmetics will usher in a new spring.

In the joint statement, China and France explicitly mentioned their commitment to provide fair and non-discriminatory conditions of competition for businesses, especially in the fields of cosmetics, agriculture, air traffic management, finance (banking, insurance, asset managers), health (medical supplies, vaccines), energy, investment and sustainable development.

To fulfill these commitments, both of us will work to provide a favorable environment for business cooperation, improve market access for their companies in each other's countries, improve the business environment, and ensure respect for the intellectual property rights of all companies in countries, according to the joint statement. This also shows that in the future, in addition to the well-known cosmetics giants, there will be more new French cosmetics brands into the vision of domestic consumers.

Therefore, industry insiders said: "China-French cosmetics cooperation has entered a new field."

For China and France, the promotion of cosmetics trade to a diplomatic strategic level is also related to the cosmetics market position of both countries. The cosmetics industry is currently the third largest export industry in France, and China is the most important place for major international beauty companies in recent years. Therefore, France has once again established its position as the largest importer of cosmetics from China.

Anhui Newman Fine Chemicals Co., LTD., as the world's leading manufacturer of carbomer and related polymeric emulsifier, will take this opportunity to further strengthen the in-depth cooperation with EU and French enterprises. All our carbomer and acrylic polymers have passed the EU REACH registration certification. Due to the impact of the epidemic on people's consumption concept, more attention is paid to healthy and safe products while paying attention to beauty. Therefore, our cosmetics grade carbomer such as NM-Carbomer 960, 970, 981,990, 934, 10 and 30, as well as NM-Carbomer 20, 21, 1382 and 2020 with INCI name Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, being polymerized in a benzene-free production process line. Since benzene is a banned ingredient in China's Technical Specification for Safety of Cosmetics (2015 Edition), the content of "benzene" in its raw materials is not more than 100ppm. According to the requirements of the American CIR, the content limit of benzene in cosmetics is not more than 100ppm. Therefore, our all above carbomers not only meet the requirements of cosmetics, but also meet the requirements of Chinese Pharmacopoeia (ChP), European Pharmacopeia (Ph. Eur.)  and United States Pharmacopeia/National Formulary (USP/NF) of no more than 2ppm.

In addition, we launched the polymer emulsifier NM-EM305, NM-CarbomerTR1 and NM-Carbomer TR-2. These emulsifiers have not only the emulsification function, allowing cold or hot processing. And HLB hydrophilic - lipophilic balance calculation for application system is not required for preparation. At the same time, they are excellent stabilizer and thickening agency.

TR-1 and TR-2 are a high molecular weight, cross-linked copolymer of acrylic acid and a hydrophobic C10-30 alkyl acrylate. They are versatile, non-ethoxylated polymer designed to create stable and mild oil-in-water emulsions at low use levels.

NM-EM305 is a copolymer of acrylic acid (ester) and ammonium methacrylate whose solvent is C13-14 Isoparaffin and water. It is easy to use in liquid form and does not contain acrylamide.
