Cosmetic Products Directive

Restrictions on the use of a given ingredient are identified. Restrictions are set out in the Directive itself or in the IFRA (International Fragrance Association) code of practice. These restrictions may take the form of a quantitative limitation (expressed as a percentage of the final product or as a concentration for application to the skin), or the ingredient may have to meet certain specifications or may only be used in conjunction with certain specified ingredients. These substances are marked with one asterisk for IFRA restrictions or with two asterisks for restrictions in the Cosmetic Products Directive.

EEC proposals also assert that cosmetic products must not damage human health when appHed under normal or reasonably foreseeable conditions of use. Pinally, the EEC directive states that the label of a cosmetic should include a Hst of ingredients in descending order of weight at the time of manufacture. 

Safety testing of a finished cosmetic product should be sufficient to ensure that the product does not cause irritation when used in accordance with directions, neither eUcits sensitization nor includes a sensitizer, and does not cause photoaHergic responses. Some of the methods for determining animal or human responses to cosmetics are noted in Table 3. 

For food and drink, medical, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics production the microbiological quality of the water becomes paramount. Even in applications where biological quality is not directly important, uncontrolled growth can be a damaging nuisance. Warm-water systems and cooling circuits in particular are a potential hazard (e.g. from Legionella). Some water treatment or conditioning is commonly required. 

Lipstick is one of the decorative cosmetic products that command a unique market. Lipstick contains a variety of emollients, emulsifiers, preservatives, colorants and binders [4]. The quality of lipstick is directly linked to the basic material used in the formulation [5-6]. Varying the ratio of the ingredient used in formulation determines the final product characteristic such as texture, viscosity, hardness and melting point of the lipstick [7-9].

Fatty acid methyl and ethyl esters derived from vegetable oils are valuable compounds for the production of fine chemicals for food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic products. Moreover, they are considered to be a promising fuel for direct injection diesel engines. The classical method of fatty acid methyl and ethyl ester (FAME)... 

Cosmetic ingredients are natural or synthesized chemicals entering in the preparation/formulation of cosmetic products. According to the Cosmetics Directive 76/768/EEC (1), cosmetic products placed on the market must not cause damage to human health when applied under normal or reasonably foreseeable conditions of use. The cosmetics manufacturers have to ensure the safety of their cosmetic products prior to marketing. However, the European Commission can adopt, on the basis of advice of the Scientific Committee on Consumer Products (SCCP), measures to limit or to forbid the commercialization of cosmetic products containing ingredients with safety concerns.

EEC Council Directive, EEC 76/768, on cosmetic products (18th Suppl.). 

Council Directive of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to cosmetic products (76/768/EEC). 

Fatty acid methyl and ethyl esters derived from vegetable oils are considered to be a promising fuel for direct injection diesel engines. Moreover, they are valuable compounds for the production of fine chemicals for food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic products. Leclercq et a/.1711 showed that the methanolysis of rapeseed oil can be carried out with MgO, although its activity depends strongly on the pretreatment temperature of this oxide. Thus, with MgO pretreated at 823 K and a methanol to oil molar ratio of 75 at methanol reflux, a conversion of 37 % with 97 % selectivity to methyl esters was achieved after 1 h in a batch reactor.

This is currently a hot topic in the EU, evident by the recent ban on the testing of cosmetic products on animals under the EU Cosmetics Directive [105]. In vitro cell cultures usually originate from a live animal so, ultimately, some animal sacrifice is necessary. Some synthetic systems do exist, such as serru-permeable membranes to model tissue passive transport.
