Cosmetic products are substances or mixtures intended to be placed in contact with the external parts of the human body or with the teeth and the mucous membranes of the oral cavity with a view exclusively or mainly to cleaning them, perfuming them, changing their appearance, protecting them, keeping them in good condition or correcting body odors. Here are some key points regarding cosmetic product notification, product details, positive and negative aspects, and ingredients or materials:

  • Cosmetic Labeling: All cosmetic products marketed in any part of the UK have to be labeled with a list of their ingredients, irrespective of the channel of distribution. This requirement also applies to professional products, free samples, tester samples, multi-component products, products sold by mail order or online, and products provided in hotels and other public facilities. The FDA also requires that all cosmetics must be properly labeled by providing an ingredient list that customers can read before purchasing the product. The product labeling should include the name and address of the manufacturer and applicable warnings as stated in the 21 CFR 740.11, 740.12, and 740.17 federal rules on the information panel of the product and 21 CFR 740.10 cosmetic act warning on the principal display panel.

  • Cosmetic Product Notification: Prior to placing the cosmetic product on the market, the responsible person must submit the necessary information to the UK Government through the UKs Submit Cosmetic Product Notifications service (SCPN) . In the US, cosmetics may be deemed misbranded under the FD&C Act unless the product label follows FDA guidance on ingredients, warnings, and the like.

  • Positive and Negative Aspects: Cosmetics that may be hazardous to consumers when misused must bear appropriate label warnings and adequate directions for safe use. The statements must be prominent and conspicuous. If a cosmetic product contains ingredients that present an avoidable hazard, it must submit a label to demonstrate that appropriate cautionary statements are present. The FDA has the authority to prohibit a cosmetic product from being introduced or delivered through interstate commerce if it has a misleading or false label. They can also enforce regulations if the cosmetics do not conspicuously state necessary required information, i.e., misleading ingredient labeling that doesn’t reflect the actual contents of a cosmetic product container.

  • Ingredients or Materials: All cosmetic products must have a list of ingredients that customers can read before purchasing the product. The FDA requires that cosmetics which are also drugs must first identify the drug ingredient(s) as "active ingredient(s)" before listing the cosmetic ingredients. If a cosmetic product contains ingredients that present an avoidable hazard, it must submit a label to demonstrate that appropriate cautionary statements are present[[3]](https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/consumer-product-safety/cosmetic...
