- Definition of Dilutions Vitamins and beauty products
Cosmetics (colloquially known as makeup or make-up)
are care substances used to enhance the appearance or odor of
the human body. They are
generally mixtures of chemical compounds, some
being derived from natural sources, many being synthetic.
In the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which regulates cosmetics, defines cosmetics as "intended to
be applied to the human body for cleansing, beautifying, promoting
attractiveness, or altering the appearance without affecting the body's
structure or functions." This broad definition also includes any material
intended for use as a component of a cosmetic product. The FDA specifically excludes soap from this category.
Beauty products are now widely available from dedicated
internet-only retailers, who have
more recently been joined online by established outlets, including the major
department stores and traditional bricks and mortar beauty retailers. Although
modern make-up has been traditionally used mainly by women, an increasing
number of males are gradually using cosmetics usually associated to women to
enhance or cover their own facial features.
Skin care products can also fall under the
general category of cosmetics. These are products used to improve the
appearance and health of skin, formulated for different types of skin and
associated characteristics. Skin care products include cleansers, facial masks,
toners, moisturizers, sunscreen, tanning oils and lotions, skin lighteners,
serums and defoliants.
Cosmetic regulations in Europe are often
updated to follow the trends of innovations and new technologies while ensuring product safety. This new status implies that the responsible
person has the legal liability to
ensure that the cosmetics and brands they
manufacture or sell comply with the current cosmetic regulations and norms. The
responsible person is also responsible of the documents contained in the
Product Information File, a list of product information including data such as
Cosmetic Product Safety Report, product description, GMP statement or product function.
