If you notice, today there are more and more cosmetic products that use modern technology that often difficult to understand. According to the rules, actually each manufacturer must include the composition of cosmetic products and other important information. Here is some guidance:
Alcohol Free
In the world of cosmetics, the word alcohol refers to ethyl alcohol. Although it is wrtten alcohol-free, but it may still contain other types of alcohol, such as cetyl, stearyl, cetearyl, or lanolin alcohol. The effects of these agents to the skin are different with ethyl alcohol. Alcohol which often makes the skin dry like isopropyl alcohol are rarely used in cosmetic products.
Not Tested on Animals
Despite this warning implies that this product is not tested on animals, but some content may need to be tested in animals. Search for the word “no new testing” or “not currently tested.” FDA itself does not create a legal definition for these words.
Hypoallergenic Cosmetic
This means that cosmetic products are claimed not to cause allergic reactions or side effects allergic smaller than other products. Yet there is no standard procedure that is used to ensure a product does not cause irritation on sensitive skin.
Noncomedogenic
This warning means the product does not contain ingredients that often lead to clogged pores and can cause acne.
Expiration date (shelf-life)
Every cosmetic product must include the expiration date in its packaging. Storing cosmetics in moist or warm place like a bathroom would make cosmetics more quickly outdated.
Harmless Content
Be careful in buying facial bleach products that do not have a registration number at the Department of Health. A number of raids are routinely done by the government often find skin whitening products (skin lightening) that contain mercury (Hg), Hydroquinone more than two percent, dye Rhodamine B and metanil yellow. The use of mercury can cause cancer and brain inflammation due to soluble substance involved in blood circulation.
