Honeywell announced Solstice Propellant, a solution based on breakthrough next-generation hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) technology, completed registration for new cosmetic raw materials by China'sNational Medical Products Administration (NMPA). It is expected to be officially included in the list of China Cosmetics Raw Material Catalogue after passing monitoring period. The completion of this registration marks the official application of Honeywell's innovative products and technologies in China's personal care industry, promoting sustainable development of the industry through safer and more eco-friendly products. NMPA has begun to implement the Measures for the Registration of New Raw Material for Cosmetics to standardize and guide the registration of new cosmetic raw materials since May 1st, 2021. Raw materials that are registered, as well as imported personal care products containing registered raw materials, can be sold in China. The completion of this registration means cosmetics companies in China can purchase and apply Honeywell Solstice Propellant for production and sales of personal care products. Meanwhile, Solstice Enhance, also based on next-generation HFO technology, is expected to complete the NMPA registration soon. The completion of NMPA registration of Honeywell Solstice Propellant and Solstice Enhance will make them ultra-low global warming potential alternatives to HFC-134a, HFC-152a and other hydrofluorocarbons, effectively allowing companies to reduce their carbon footprint.
