Recently, the Guangdong Cosmetics Association officially released the "Setting Powder Compact" group standard, numbered T/GDCA 085—2026, and it was officially implemented on August 26, 2026.
Guangdong B.C.Biotech Co., Ltd., with its professional accumulation in color cosmetics product R&D, formula innovation, and manufacturing, led and participated in the development of the "Setting Powder Compact" group standard. This marks a new opportunity for China's setting powder compact industry to enter a more scientific and standardized stage of development, and also highlights Guangdong B.C.Biotech's benchmark position and strong technical strength in the setting field ✨
This is not only an industry honor, but also recognition of B.C.Biotech's professional strength in color cosmetics R&D capabilities, product quality management, and industry standardization development.
As the lead unit in the development of this "Setting Powder Compact" group standard, Guangdong B.C.Biotech, leveraging years of accumulated color cosmetics ODM R&D experience, has accumulated extensive practical experience in powder color cosmetics (baked powder, liquid powder processes, powder formulations, press molding, skin-feel development, and stability testing).
During the standard development process, we combined factory mass-production practices and market user needs to provide frontline technical recommendations on powder raw materials, production processes, and finished product performance, and worked with industry experts to refine the standard clauses.
Since the project initiation of the "Setting Powder Compact" group standard, Guangdong B.C.Biotech has fully leveraged its technical accumulation in color cosmetics R&D and production, integrating core technologies, mass-production experience, and compliance management concepts accumulated over years in setting products throughout the entire group standard drafting process.
This standard focuses on setting powder compact products and conducted multiple rounds of discussion and experimental verification on physicochemical indicators, microbial limits, makeup-setting durability-related performance, supporting test methods, and environmental protection and safety requirements for raw materials, ensuring the standard is scientific, rigorous, and operable.
While aligning with current national and industry standards, the standard fits market application scenarios and consumers' core usage needs, practicing "promote quality through standards and lead development through standardization," and leading the quality upgrade of setting powder compact products and the healthy development of the industry.
Today, the global color cosmetics market is accelerating into a new stage of integrated development of "technology + efficacy + experience + design."
In particular, powder compact products are no longer limited to the traditional "setting" function:
✨ Soft-focus blurring powder compact
✨ Oil-control long-wear powder compact
✨ Brightening setting powder compact
✨ Skincare-infused powder compact
✨ Color-correcting powder compact
✨ Sunscreen powder compact
✨ Multi-functional base makeup powder compact
Behind the flourishing diversity of product forms, higher requirements are also placed on raw material control, production processes, and performance evaluation methods. The development of this "Setting Powder Compact" group standard is precisely intended to establish a unified technical evaluation benchmark for the powder compact category.
Guangdong B.C.Biotech deeply participated in the discussion of standard clauses, integrating years of ODM mass-production experience and powder formulation research achievements into the standard framework, guiding the healthy development of the category through standardization norms, helping brands develop powder compact products that combine safety, stability, and differentiated experiences, and empowering domestic Chinese color cosmetics to go global.
