Safety assessment of cosmetic products, [what you need to know]

In our daily lives, cosmetic products occupy an important place. From shower gel for washing to moisturizing cream to nourish the skin, to hair styling products, they are essential to our routines. But how do we know if these products are safe for us? This is where the safety assessment of cosmetic products comes in. As pharmacists, it seems more than essential for us to tell you about it!


[1] What is cosmetic product safety assessment?

Cosmetic product safety assessment is a rigorous process where every ingredient and finished product is examined by toxicologists to ensure they do not pose any health risks to consumers. This process is essential to ensure that the products we apply to our skin every day are safe.


[2] Regulations and standards

Cosmetic products are subject to strict regulations in many countries. In Europe, for example, Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 sets out strict rules to ensure the safety of cosmetic products. This regulation requires that each cosmetic product be assessed by a qualified expert before being placed on the market. In addition, comprehensive documentation must be kept up to date and be available to the competent authorities when needed.
