What does DHC quasi-drug mean?

DHC quasi-drug products mean that the product is safer than ordinary cosmetics and is an imported product.

The main legal basis for the supervision of cosmetics and pharmaceutical quasi-drugs in Japan is the Pharmaceutical Affairs Act, and the main regulatory unit is the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of Japan.

Japan implements a strict approval system for quasi-drugs. It has also formulated usage standards for hair dyes, hair perms, medicated toothpastes and medicated shower gels, including the types and contents of active ingredients, additives, Specifications, etc., if the usage standards are exceeded, information on efficacy, safety, ingredient compatibility, etc. must be submitted during approval.

For the raw materials used in the production of quasi-drugs, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has issued a "List of Usable Ingredients". Companies producing quasi-drugs can only use raw materials in the list, and the concentration and specifications of the raw materials used etc. must be consistent with the list. To use new raw materials or expand the scope of use, raw materials must be declared first.

Japan has very strict management of the efficacy promotion of quasi-drugs, and basically has fixed promotional terms for each product. During the approval process, the "Pharmaceutical Drug Investigation and Guidance Department" responsible for technical consultation on approval can directly discuss issues such as efficacy determination and labeling with the company.
