As consumers we are exposed on a daily basis to cosmetic claims, from brushing our teeth in the morning to using the latest anti-ageing creams. We can't get away from them. Consumers are continually enticed by claims of intrigue and efficacy. What are these cosmetic claims? How are they actually developed and justified? With most consumers obtaining their information about cosmetic products from the press, internet sources and social media, it is important to discern between fact and fiction. This book opens with three key questions: why do we even use cosmetics, what is their purpose, and how vain are we all? The answers are by no means exhaustive, but serve as a guide to what cosmetic claims are, how they are made and regulated. By examining the factors influencing the claims development process, the author aims to introduce consumers to the complexity and nuances of how the industry develops claims for its cosmetic products. They should also be more informed when choosing and purchasing cosmetic products, and be more circumspect when judging what they read in the press, and on the internet and social media............................................................................................................................................................................ Cosmetic industry professionals, be they marketing, R&D or regulatory affairs, should gain a comprehensive understanding of the processes involved in developing effective cosmetic claims, and obtain more clarity in legislative compliance.........................The book closes with more questions than answers since it touches on the most sensitive aspects of who we are and what we want. It revisits the three questions, why we use cosmetics, and how we search for claims to solve a number of our social needs that are clearly not the remit of cosmetics, despite their impact. This book is presented in a way that will both provoke and appeal to all consumers irrespective of which side of the cosmetic counter they stand -- colleagues in the industry or friends and family on the high street ............................................................................................................................. The reflection in the mirror is never what it seems! ...........................................................................................................................Chapter 1: Why We Use Cosmetics - How Vain Are We?

This document identifies the types of products that are regulated as cosmetic products in Canada; provides information about legislation that applies to cosmetic products (notification of sale, safety, labelling, claims, import and export); and discusses compliance and enforcement.
Shows how to validate scientifically the marketing claims of chemically stable and well-balanced products to withstand adequately the challenge of competitors and government regulators. The book describes techniques for substantiating properties, such as moisturization, mildness, conditioning and cleansing, as well as the performance of deodorants and antiperspirants, and the effectiveness of acne products. It discusses technologies that help eliminate animal testing in product development.
th Together with the 6 Amendment - Council Directive 93/35 EEC - to the Cosmetic Directive 76/768 EEC it was the first time that, according to Article 7b, special claims of efficacy could be legally attributed to cosmetic products but under the obligation to make evidence of the claimed effects; also an entirely new "controller" was introduced - the independent "safety assessor", This indeed means not only progress in reliable and honest marketing arguments but above all transparency as to the respective proof and thus protection of consumer's health. Such claims demand high standards in scientifi cally based methodology and their results in order to prove such demands evidently. There are also within the 6" Amendment to the Cosmetic Directive in Article 4a strict restrictions as to the further use of conventional animal testing for cosmetic pro ducts and their ingredients and especially for finished products. Without doubt there is a competition between the necessity and expectations on consumer health on the one hand and the requirements of acknowledged protection of animals as done in Council Directive 86/609 EEC on the other. But at least, based on the present state of knowledge, tests in human beings cannot replace animal testing in all instances. Not only ethical reasons alone prohibit or impede testing in humans but also very often the lack of knowledge on functional and/or biological processes underlaying observed effects with the consequence that suitable experimental methodologies are missing.
The 1938 Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) granted the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) the authority to regulate cosmetic products and their ingredients. The statutory provisions of the FD&C Act that address cosmetics include adulteration and misbranding provisions. In addition to the FD&C Act, cosmetics are regulated under the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act (FPLA) and related regulations. The cosmetics provisions were amended by the Color Additive Amendments Act of 1960 and the Poison Prevention Packaging Act, but remain basically the same as the provisions in the 1938 FD&C Act.FDA's authorities over cosmetic products include some of those applicable to other FDA-regulated products, such as food, drugs, medical devices, and tobacco. However, FDA's authority over cosmetics is less comprehensive than its authority over other FDA-regulated products with regard to registration; testing; premarket notification, clearance, or approval; good manufacturing practices; mandatory risk labeling; adverse event reports; and recalls. For example, FDA does not impose registration requirements on cosmetic manufacturers. Rather, cosmetic manufacturers may decide to comply with voluntary FDA regulations on registration. Except for color additives, FDA does not require premarket notification, safety testing, review, or approval of the chemicals used in cosmetic products. Cosmetic manufacturers also are not required to use good manufacturing practices (GMP)-although FDA has released GMP guidelines for cosmetic manufacturers-nor required to file ingredient information with, or report adverse reactions to, the agency. Instead, under a voluntary FDA program, cosmetic manufacturers and packagers may report the ingredients used in their product formulations. FDA does not have the authority to require a manufacturer to recall a cosmetic product from the marketplace, although the agency has issued general regulations on voluntary recalls. The agency's ability to issue regulations on cosmetic products is limited by the agency's statutory authorities or lack thereof.As a result, cosmetics are arguably more self-regulated than other FDA-regulated products. The manner in which a cosmetic product could or should be regulated, however, is not always clear. FDA's guidelines have provided the cosmetic industry with considerable flexibility for product development and claims.
