On October 8th, the “Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Children’s Cosmetics” issued by the State Drug Administration proposed for the first time.
Children’s cosmetics labels must not marked words or food -related patterns such as “food grade” and “edible”
Essence
On October 18th, the State Drug Administration again released a popular science article called “Food Grade” cosmetics is a misleading of consumers.
Emphasize that there is no “food -grade” cosmetics
Essence However, a reporter from Nandu found that there are still many children’s cosmetics on e -commerce platforms that advertise “edible”, and “food -grade” cosmetics are still popular.
Most children’s cosmetics for e -commerce platforms
Proclaimed “food -grade raw materials”
Data show that children’s makeup consumption in 2020 increased by 300%year -on -year, and children’s skin care consumption increased by 250%year -on -year. Parents of “post -85s” and “post -90s” have become the main force of the children’s cosmetics market.
Despite the huge potential of the children’s cosmetics market in my country, there are still many problems with infant products on the market. Some cosmetics manufacturers use some raw materials that can be used to produce “food” when producing cosmetics. They take the opportunity to say that such cosmetics are “food -grade” cosmetics to indicate that the cosmetics they sell are safer.
Especially implied parents to use such cosmetics more safer to children, even if children have no risk even if they eat it
Nandu reporters searched for “children’s cosmetics” on the e -commerce platform. Immediately, there were diverse and colorful cosmetics boxes. The price ranging from tens of yuan to hundreds of yuan, and the maximum monthly sales were 5000+. Lipsticks, eye shadows, blush … Many children’s makeup sets claim to be “Disneyly authorized”, but most of the stores are “some toy specialty stores” and “certain maternal and infant franchise stores”. Production manufacturers are concentrated in Guangdong.
These makeup packages claim to be “non -toxic and tasteless”, “can be washed” and “no preservatives”. In order to allow parents to rest assured of product safety, most products have specially emphasized the use of “food -grade raw materials”, “children’s edible” and “plant formula”.
There are a lot of publicity on food -grade children’s cosmetics on the e -commerce platform.
In this regard, the popular science article of the State Drug Administration clearly states that
Cosmetics and food are two different types of products
According to different regulations, different product standards, raw materials requirements, production conditions, etc.
There is no so -called “food -grade” cosmetics at all
The safety of cosmetics has nothing to do with whether it is “edible”
It is reported that it is necessary to evaluate whether a cosmetics is safe and requires the safety of its raw materials. At the same time, it also needs to evaluate its product formula, production process, usage method, storage conditions, etc.
Essence Even if some merchants use some raw materials that can be used to produce “food” to produce cosmetics,
It does not mean that the cosmetics produced are safe
It is understood that for the “food” raw materials that are not included in the “Food Catalog of Cosmetics”, if you want to add it to cosmetics as a raw material, you need to be stimulating, skin sensitivity, optical, and photosensitivity, etc. The evaluation of toxicology is that it is considered safe after a comprehensive assessment, and can be used as cosmetic raw materials after the new raw material registration or filing of the new cosmetics of the State Drug Administration.
In addition, according to the “Technical Specifications for Cosmetics Safety”, some edible or widespread substances in foods are included in cosmetics disabled raw materials, and they are prohibited to add in cosmetics, such as konjac, vitamin K-1, etc.
The picture is intercepted from an e -commerce platform for a children’s cosmetics publicity page.
There is a safety risk of eating cosmetics by mistake
Prohibit cosmetics from claiming “edible”
According to the Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Cosmetics, cosmetics are used as “rubbing, spraying or other similar methods”, and applied daily chemical industrial products for human surfaces such as skin, hair, nails, lips, etc.
The article pointed out that cosmetics are not products designed for food. In the daily use of cosmetics, occasionally consumes cosmetics from lips, such as: lipstick and lipstick are licking the entrance, and do not have to worry too much, because this intake is still within the scope of safety.
However, if children take cosmetics as food and actively consume a large amount of intake, they may lead to health risks. If discomfort symptoms occur, they should seek medical treatment in time.
According to the “Cosmetics Supervision and Administration Regulations”, cosmetics labels are prohibited from marking “false or misunderstandings”.
The label of cosmetics claims “food grade” and “edible”, etc., which violates the regulations of cosmetics label management and shall be prohibited.
