INTRODUCTION
Historically, cosmetics began to be used 6.000 years ago and
its use has spread throughout the world. Such products had
the purpose of adorning and perfuming the body, so as not to
alter the structure and function of the skin. In ancient Egypt,
records point to the use of cosmetics containing lead rich
black pigments (Kohl) applied to the eye region. Lead in turn,
when in contact with the skin, releases gaseous nitric oxide
capable of activating the immune system through vasodilation
and activation of macrophages with cytotoxic characteristics.
Cosmetics and skin care products are currently consumed
worldwide, with frequent use, increasing the exposure of the
human body to the various chemical compounds that make up
its formulas. Stipulating the incidence of cosmetic side effects
is quite difficult because users with weak side effects often do
not seek medical advice.
MARKET CAPITALIZATION
LIPSTICK
The primary ingredients found in lipstick are wax,
oil, alcohol, and dye. Though, lead is not an
ingredient of the lipsticks, it might be present as
impurities in the colour additives.
Lead is sometimes found in harmful amounts in red
lipsticks. Health problems associated with lead
ingestion are brain damage and behavior
abnormalities Many of lead's side effects are
irreversible. Mineral Oil found in lipsticks acts like a
second nonporous skin, blocking the real skin's
pores, and can interfere with skin cell development
and proper functioning.
MOISTURISERS
It is a fact that, sun damage and pollution ruin your skin so it is good to
wear a ‘good’ moisturiser to block the UV sunrays and harmful
pollutants away from your face.
Nonetheless, moisturisers and creams that contain mineral oil and
paraffin have been shown clinically to damage the skin barrier and
increase moisture loss from the skin.
Virtually all the popular cosmetic moisturizers and emollients sold by
skin care companies contain high concentrations of detergents and
detergent-like chemicals that damage the skin and degrade the skin's
natural protective function. The frequent use of moisturisers by most of
us (in order to obtain a smooth radiant and young-looking skin), results
in the body absorbing and assimilating the harmful synthetic chemical
ingredients of these products that can damage the skin, exacerbating
skin problems instead of enhancing the skin’s beauty and health.
The solution is to purchase products that contain vegetable oils.
Particularly oils high in gamma linoleic acid that effectively suppresses
inflammation.A good moisturiser should be made of water, hydrosols,
plant oils, and emulsifiers. Using natural products, you can maintain the
beauty of your face for longer
KAJAL
• This act was originally known as the Drug Act and was passed in 1940. The
original act was prepared in accordance to the recommendations of the
Chopra Committee formed in 1930. The related Drugs Rules was passed in
1945. Since 1940, the act has undergone several amendments and is now
known as the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940.[2]
• The term "drug" as defined in the act includes a wide variety of substance,
diagnostic and medical devices. The act defines "cosmetic" as any product
that is meant to be applied to the human body for the purpose of beautifying
or cleansing. The definition however excludes soaps. In 1964, the act was
amended to include Ayurveda and Unani drugs.[2]
• The Section 16 of the act defines the standards of quality for drugs. The
Section 17 defines "misbranding". A drug is considered misbranded if it
claims to be of more therapeutic value than it actually is. The manufacturer of
such a drug may be asked to suspend manufacture of the drug under Section
18. Section 27 deals with fake and adulterated drugs. The act requires that
ingredients of the drugs should be printed on the label.[2]
• The Section 22 defines the powers of the drug inspectors and Section 23
defines the strict procedure which should be followed by the inspectors
during any raids.[4]
• The Indian consumer has the „right to be protected against marketing of
goods and services which are
• hazardous to life and property‟ (Consumer Protection Act 1986).
Conclusion
• The cosmetic products may present health risks and recurrent
adverse effects are attributed to the toxic substances
commonly found in their formulations. Although the various
structures for the regulation and quality control of cosmetics
around the world are quite complex and comprehensive, they
should be more rigorous in the inclusion of new substances
with toxic potential in the formulation of cosmetics to avoid
damages to human health. To encourage improvements in the
manufacture, marketing and use of cosmetic products by the
population, it is necessary to apply a unified cosmetovigilance
around the world. This public health strategy are a genuine
means of obtaining information on the safety of cosmetic
products and their ingredients, preventing the risks associated
with using cosmetics become a serious public health problem.
