Create more sustainable products

In 2021, Shanghai Jahwa established the qualitative concept of the products social and environmental impact throughout the life cycle covering new product development or product upgrading. The Product Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) puts forward the direction for the sustainable performance from five main aspects: efficacy improvement, safety and health, raw materials and wastes, energy consumption and climate impact, and water and wastewater discharge. Based on the Product Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), we can analyzed on sustainable performance of new or updated products, and constantly create more sustainable products.

About Natural Ingredients

With the vigorous development of the modern chemical industry, chemical ingredients play an increasingly important role in the healthy life of mankind. Therefore, unsafe chemical ingredients may place additional burden on the skin of consumers and impair their skin health. Nature breeds all things. In recent years, the beauty concept of natural health has come into the eye of the public.

It is believed that natural ingredients have numerous secrets yet to be discovered. Not all natural ingredients are safe to use, and sometimes they are even skin allergens. Holding a rational view of "natural ingredients", the Company has never stopped researching them and remains committed to finding natural active ingredients with better and safer efficacy for consumers.

About microbeads

Plastic microspheres often refer to solid plastic particles with a diameter of 5 mm or less, which are insoluble in water and difficult to completely degrade. Plastic microspheres come from a wide range of sources, such as plastic fragments (such as plastic bottles, plastic bags, etc.) that decompose and break in the natural environment, or fiber hair balls that peel off synthetic fiber fabrics during washing. As there are large quantity of plastic particles widely distributing in the environment, the pollution problem of microplastics has attracted the attention of all countries.

Microbeads in personal care cleaning products are mainly used for scrubbing, exfoliating or cleaning our skin. In order to avoid the risk of harm to the environment, the Company actively respond to the opinions of relevant state departments, namely, adopting natural or degradable frosted particles such as cellulose particles, microcrystalline cellulose, hydrated silica, walnut shell particles and corn particles, rather than traditional plastic frosted particles.

Quality Control Requirements for Different Kinds of Products under Development

Concepts and Methods of Product Safety Assessment

At the product development stage, the Company has introduced the quality control requirements for different kinds of products under development. Key quality control links include quality safety review and evaluation and standard formulation for raw materials, formula stability, preservation challenge testing, safety evaluation, efficacy testing and production process verification.

For raw material control, the Company specifies that the use of new raw materials, changes in formulas and changes in raw material sources should receive test, verification and evaluation by professionals to ensure product safety to the greatest extent.

For product safety testing, the Company has established a strict closed-loop safety evaluation system to ensure product safety and efficacy excellence.

Exploring Innovative methodological and external cooperation

Apart from existing safety evaluation methods, Shanghai Jahwa has also been making breakthroughs and innovation attempts. For instance, in order to further improve the user experience of products and remedy the limitation of acute eye irritation tests, the scientific research team of Shanghai Jahwa has developed the transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1) activation test. To be specific, the team built a nerve cell model that can predict pain stimulus using the activation mechanism of TRPV1 receptor to simulate the process of feeling pain by pain-related neurons in human cornea to visualize pain sense signals.

Shanghai Jahwa has cooperated extensively with hospitals, authoritative institutions and research institutes in the field of product safety research, such as Shanghai Dermatology Hospital, Shanghai Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Shanghai Customs Technology Center, Shanghai Food and Drug Administration Research Institute and other institutions, thus making continuous breakthroughs in the transformation of applied basic research.

¹The ingredients listed above will not be actively added to cosmetics by the company, and may exist in cosmetics products due to unintentional factors, such as impurities from natural or synthetic raw materials, packaging materials, or production or storage of products. Assuming that production conditions meet the national mandatory regulations, if the prohibited ingredients have to be adopted as required by technology, the company will conduct safety assessment on cosmetic products to ensure that the company's products will not cause harm to human body under normal or reasonably foreseeable use conditions.
