On January 4, 2022, the Michelon Market Supervision Bureau received a report, reflecting the parties using the "AMOUS Flagship Store" to sell "A Muste Infant Toothpaste children toothpaste" in its online store "ANMOUS flagship store". Essence After verification, the report is true.

This time, the Cosmetics Supervision and Management Department of the State Drug Administration stated that the specific rules of children's toothpaste refer to the "Regulations on the Regulations for Children's Cosmetics Supervision and Management" will be clarified in the "toothpaste supervision and management measures" and their supporting regulations. The "Measures for Toothpaste Supervision and Management" and the requirements of supporting regulations are required. The Cosmetics Supervision and Management Department of the State Drug Administration stated that in accordance with the Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Cosmetics, no toothpaste is included in the definition of cosmetics. Toothpaste is only managed by referring to ordinary cosmetics. The specific methods are determined by the "toothpaste supervision and management measures" issued later. At present, the State Administration of Market Supervision and Administration is reviewing the "toothpaste supervision and management measures" and will be promulgated as soon as possible.
