What tests do cosmetics have to pass to be safe?

Hello, there are 9 routine testing items for cosmetics, namely arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium, total number of colonies, mold and yeast count, fecal coliforms, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The above 9 items are required for cosmetics to be tested. If it is listed on Tmall, JD.com, etc.**, you must upload the record number of the filing report of the cosmetics, as well as 9 test reports of a cosmetics; In addition, if the test report of cosmetics needs to be used for the filing of non-special cosmetics, the attached table of the institutional capacity of issuing the test report should have the qualification for the filing of non-special cosmetics; The last point is that the institution that issues the cosmetics test report must be a third-party testing agency with CMA qualification, which is the CMA qualification certificate.

1. The origin of the product can be identified by the bar code. If the barcodes of goods from 690 to 695 are produced in Chinese mainland, and you see the beginning of the number on the barcode of "imported cosmetics", then Ziqin should also have a number in her heart.

2. Now it is very convenient to travel to South Korea and Thailand, and many people have started to do business. If you are buying goods imported from Korea, then the barcode should start with 880; For the goods excavated by the Thai army, the barcode should start with 885; For imports from the Americas, the barcode starts with 00 to 13 (the United States, Canada); Europe 30-37 is France; Germany is 400-440; Britain is at the beginning of the 50's. In Asia, the barcode of Japanese cosmetics starts with 45-49; The barcode of cosmetics in Chinese mainland starts with 690-693; Taiwan starts with 471; The Hong Kong SAR starts with 489.

3. In the identification of important ingredients, the content of some English words is also different. For example, soapfree means soap-free; frangrancefree means fragrance-free; alcoholfree means alcohol-free; Parabensfree means no antimicrobial agents for parabens. Of course, cosmetics also have organic certification marks, such as the European Union EEC organic mark, Australia NASAA organic mark; Japan JAS Organic Logo, etc.

All you need is a glass of water. Why use water? Because we wash our faces with water every day, the molecules of water are close to the molecules of the water, so anything that can be dissolved by water can be absorbed by the water.

Take an appropriate amount of your usual foundation or lotion and put it in water and watch it react. Generally speaking, three things happen: stick to the rim of the cup, float on the surface of the water, and sink to the bottom of the cup.

These three cases illustrate the ingredients they contain.

1) Sticking to the rim of the cup is animal oil. It is extracted from animals. Let's think about which cosmetics factory has an animal slaughterhouse next to it?

No, after killing the animals in the slaughterhouse, they pile the bones and fur aside, and when they have saved up a lot of them, they will be pulled to the cosmetics factory, who knows how long they have been piled up, and if it is summer, will those things spoil and rot? We eat spoiled things will vomit and diarrhea, ** the same, cosmetics made with spoiled things will produce allergies, and the manufacturer knows that it will be allergic, so in the manufacturing process, it will add soothing agents and desensitizers. The soothing agent is an anesthetic for the immune nerve, it will feel good at the beginning, but it will not work after a long time, beauticians know that the same brand of cosmetics will be used for 2-3 years to change the brand, what to change?

In exchange for a pacifier.

2) Floating on the surface of the water is mineral oil. Mineral oil is extracted from oil extracted underground. The first layer is used as gasoline; The second layer is leptonomic; The third layer is asphalt, which is used to pave the road.

And this kind of cosmetics is made of the second layer of lephur oil, lepton oil has a good moisturizing effect, but it is not breathable, which is like we wear a pair of leather pants in winter, and the legs are wet and impermeable, which will affect the permeability of **, and even accelerate **aging**.

3) Heavy metals, lead, mercury, etc., sink at the bottom of the cup. There are reports in the newspaper that pregnant women who give birth to children who are often used with whitening products are susceptible to cerebral palsy.

It's hard to imagine that some people think that cosmetics are as dangerous and scary as chemicals, and they are always complacent about what fruit they use, what's the matter, is there sulfuric acid or arsenic in cosmetics?

People who know a little bit about skin care will not be upset by this common sense, I buy regular and safe cosmetics, use them well, use them happily, and don't need you to be alarmist there.

How to identify regular cosmetics.

When buying cosmetics, the first thing to do is to check the outer packaging of the product. The outer packaging of the regular product should be marked with:

1. Health license. For example, Wei makeup standard word 29 (on behalf of the province) - xk (on behalf of the license) - 1679 (on behalf of the batch number).

2. Production license. Such as xk16-1083529

3. Implement standards. For example, AB-02 is numbered by the factory itself.

4. If it is a special type of cosmetics, there should be a batch number of special cosmetics.

For example, QG (97) Wei Makeup Quasi-word 25 (representing the province) -QG ("special cosmetics" mark) -07 (representing the category) -0907 (representing the serial number).

The batch number of the batch batch after May 1999 is as follows: Wei Makeup Special Zi (Year) No. 0000. If there is no batch number of either of these two, it is a three-no product.

5. Imported cosmetics: batch numbers approved before May 1999, such as: (91) Wei Cosmetics Zhun Zi 02 (representative category) - JK (representative import) - 0011 No.

The batch numbers approved after May 1999 are: Wei Makeup Jin Zi (Year) No. 0000 Imported Cosmetics Classification Number: 01 Hair Category, 02 Skin Care Category, 03 Beauty Modification Category, 04 Perfume Category.

6. Last and most importantly, check the production date and shelf life.

If you just look at it, but don't check, then there are some counterfeit products, using the code of other products, you don't know if you don't check, then you will still buy counterfeit products!

Take a few minutes, you can basically understand whether the cosmetics are regular.

Finally, many cosmetics will be written on the instructions that if there is an allergy or uncomfortable reaction, please stop using it in time, which means that this product is allergenic, then you should take a closer look to see if you will be allergic to some of these ingredients, which can also help you prevent cosmetic allergies.

No cosmetics are absolutely safe, you have to look at the ingredient list and instructions of the product before buying cosmetics, and then look at the evaluation of the product on the Internet, and then try it if you can try it, or you have to do a sensitivity test first, and then decide whether to buy it or not. This process can help you minimize the chance of allergies.

According to the "Specification for the Evaluation of Cosmetic Efficacy Claims" issued by the State Food and Drug Administration on April 9, 2021, it is clearly stipulated that the efficacy evaluation and testing of cosmetics includes human efficacy testing, human safety testing and in vitro efficacy evaluation, as well as consumer use testing.

The Hua Cosmetics Technology Laboratory that I have learned will combine product classification, scientifically and reasonably select the evaluation method of cosmetic efficacy claim, select the methods stipulated by relevant regulations, standards and specifications at home and abroad in the experiment, follow the principles of science, objectivity and integrity, standardize the evaluation of efficacy claims, and issue an evaluation report of efficacy claims, the final report results are accurate and reliable, the original records are true, standardized, complete and traceable, and will be kept in accordance with relevant regulations, and make full use of big data analysis with strong scientific research strength.
