IMPORTANCE OF SAFETY ASSESSMENT IN SPRAY COSMETICS

SF Safety Consulting & Innovation prepares CPSR (Cosmetic Product Safety Report), a European standard, for spray cosmetics.

The Safety Assessment of cosmetic products is essential to guarantee a correct procedure that will bring more assertiveness, less time and reduced costs during the development of your product, ensuring greater safety for your company and the consumer.

And when we talk about spray cosmetics, this becomes even more necessary.

A single clinical study (popularly known as a “human safety test”) DOES NOT CERTIFY that the cosmetic product is safe for use.

The clinical study should only be used after the risk assessment of each of the ingredients present in the product formulation. This risk assessment checks whether the cosmetic product is safe, depending on how it is used.

Toxicological tests (in vivo, in chemico, in silico, in vitro) carried out on each ingredient of the cosmetic product help to assess the risk, depending on the type of exposure, the dosage, the area of the body to be exposed and the exposure time.

Therefore, the Safety Assessment carried out by a qualified professional is more comprehensive and considers all aspects of the product, including inhalation exposure.

A classic example is sunscreen in the form of a spray containing the inorganic filter titanium dioxide (TiO2) and/or zinc oxide (ZnO).

These filters are insoluble in water and particle size may vary. In order for the sunscreen to improve its sensorial properties and become more transparent on the skin, raw material companies reduced the particles to nanometric sizes.

This product must undergo a Security Assessment to identify the risk of causing SERIOUS UNESIRABLE EFFECTS in consumers, such as pulmonary fibrosis.

Sunscreens are classified by Anvisa as Grade 2, and it is mandatory to present efficacy and safety TESTS when registering the product with Anvisa. Safety tests must be chosen and analyzed by a trained and certified toxicologist

Both Assessment and Testing are important to ensure the safety of cosmetic products, but assessment is essentially preventive, especially in spray products.

And how important is Safety Assessment for cosmetics companies?

Ensure the safety of cosmetic products. Fundamental to consumer reputation and trust.

Investing in security assessment and testing can prevent legal and financial problems arising from unsafe products.

The combination of safety assessment and testing is essential to ensure the safety and quality of cosmetic products.

Companies must stay up to date with best practices and regulations to ensure product safety and consumer trust.
