You'd never guess that modern people's demand for oral hygiene has far exceeded purely aesthetic considerations, and the rise of health consciousness is redefining this market! As a manufacturer or cross-border seller of oral care products, how to ensure product safety while meeting consumer demand? This is the key to enter the Amazon global store.
SGS Taiwan experts have compiled a list of core compliance requirements for cross-border e-commerce sellers for oral care products:
Oral hygiene products (toothpaste, tooth powder, mouthwash, etc.) must comply with the standards:
- Did you know? In Taiwan, there is a special Cosmetic Hygiene and Safety Administration Act that regulates additives to these products, with reference to Article 3, Section 2 and Health Authorization Food No. 1071610115.
- Heavy metal testing must include four key elements: arsenic, lead, cadmium and mercury.
- Most unexpectedly, the microbiological tests cover a wide range of areas, including aerobic bacteria count, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans.
- Whether the amount of preservatives added complies with the standard is also a key point of examination.
- Ingredients that should never be included in the product include: formaldehyde, western drugs, estrogen, steroids, etc.
- In addition, it is recommended to evaluate the key factors affecting the usage experience such as "diethylene glycol, triclosan, pH value, effective fluorine content, and product stability".
Special reminder: Denture cleansing lozenges are classified as Class I medical devices (FDA code F3520), which must be labeled with a "Medical Device Permit" on the product package and require a "Drug Dealer's License" for the distribution channel.
Compliance points for oral cleaning aids (toothbrushes, dental floss, interdental brushes):
- Toothbrushes must comply with Taiwan CNS 964 or international ISO 20126 standards. Tests focus on bristle firmness, handle durability and stability in contact with toothpaste.
- In addition to the basic quality requirements, electric toothbrushes need to pay more attention to electrical safety and must pass international standard tests and regularly update the quality report.
- Don't overlook the safety of floss and flossing sticks! The ISO international standard strictly evaluates these products for the presence of perfluoroalkyl compounds (PFACs) such as PFOS/PFOA.
- The smoothness of use, durability and service life of interdental brushes are determined by specific test methods in accordance with ISO international standards.
