Why Dermatological Testing Become a Safety Standard For Cosmetics?
Cosmetics have been a vital factor in daily life because they make you look the way you want. This is the reason, makeup became an undetachable part of everyday life. Then comes tragedies related to cosmetic products like “The Lash Lure Incident(1930s)”, “The Radium Girls(1920s)”, etc. In these tragedies, the public suffered severe health issues like blindness, bone decay, cancer, neurological damage, and death.
These tragedies led to the birth of strict rules and regulations related to cosmetic products, such as the Central Drug Standard Control Organisation(CDSCO). CDSCO regulates cosmetic products in India to maintain the safety and quality standards of Indian cosmetic products.
Risk of Non-Tested Cosmetics
1. Skin Issues:
The various skin issues like allergies, redness, and itching may be the after-effects of using
non-tested cosmetics. Skin irritation is one of the common issues faced by people using
non-tested cosmetics. Non-tested cosmetic brands cannot guarantee the quality of the products they sell.
Usage of non-tested cosmetics may lead to chemical burns, eczema, and rosacea. This concern made Fine Wine Cosmetics responsible for building products that guarantee safety and confirm only clean ingredients are used.
2. Harmful Chemicals and Toxins
There are cosmetic products like lipsticks, foundations, mascaras, cleansers, and many more that can contain harmful ingredients. Untested products are a serious threat as they can give rise to skin problems like allergies, dryness, breakouts, and severe skin issues like hormonal imbalance, cancer, neurological problems, etc.
Some chemicals that are harmful in cosmetic products are:
Carcinogens:
- Formaldehyde and formaldehyde-releasing agents are classified as carcinogens and can cause respiratory issues, skin irritation, and allergies. They are used in preservatives to restrict bacterial growth.
- Asbestos is a contaminated product that contains talc-like baby powders, setting powders, blushes, and eyeshadows.
- Benzene is a human carcinogen used in products like sunscreens, dry shampoos, deodorants, body sprays and hair sprays.
Parabens:
Parabens are generally used as preservatives in cosmetics. They get incorporated in the human body with time and long-term exposure leads to reproductive as well as increased risk of breast cancer.
Heavy metals:
Heavy metals even if exposed at low levels get incorporated into our bodies over time and are a threat to pregnant women and children. They are also responsible for neurological and kidney-related issues.
Phthalates:
Phthalates are used in cosmetics to make the ingredients pliable. They are banned in some countries as they cause reproductive and development issues. Asthma, allergies, and fertility problems are some common issues associated with Phthalates.
Other harmful Chemicals:
- Sulphates used as surfactants in shampoos and cleansers can be responsible for skin irritation and dryness.
- Synthetic fragrances generally prepared in laboratories from petroleum can cause skin irritation, allergies, and asthma.
Dermatologically tested products are well evaluated for the above harmful chemicals that lead to several serious health problems. Hence, the risks of any health hazard are minimised with a dermatologically tested product like the products of Fine Wine Cosmetics.
3. Worsening Existing Skin Conditions
Non-tested cosmetic products can intensify already existing skin conditions like rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, and acne. These products can clog pores leading to inflammation and making the skin even worse.
Dermatologist-recommended products are hypoallergenic, suitable for all skin varieties and generally dermatologically tested. Given the diversity of skin types among Indian people, it’s crucial to select products that have been thoroughly tested for safety and efficacy. Your skin deserves the best care!
Fine Wine Cosmetics claims to make dermatologically tested products because their cosmetics are free from harmful chemicals and have undergone stringent testing. Hence, the risk of worsening pre-existing skin conditions is minimal.
Why Dermatologically Tested Color Cosmetics Matter
1. Safe for Daily Use
A scientifically tested product has undergone a variety of testing methods. The major reason for performing these tests is to evaluate the possibility of the product causing skin irritation, redness, itching, and allergies. These tests are especially very important for colour cosmetics as they are applied directly on the skin on a daily basis. Hence, these tested products can be termed as “Safe for Daily Use”.
Consumers with pre-existing skin conditions should use products that are dermatologically tested. Fine Wine Cosmetics offers their customers peace of mind in the form of tested products.
2. Transparency
While customers may not grasp the intricate details of cosmetic ingredients, brands need to communicate the benefits and capabilities of their products. Educating consumers not only builds trust but also empowers them to make informed choices. Transparency means being dedicated to sharing the details of the products a brand offers to its customers. Customers carefully examine the ingredients list and are selective about the products they choose for their skin. One reason dermatologically tested products are highly trusted in the beauty market is their commitment to transparency; they list all their ingredients. Cosmetic brands like Fine Wine Cosmetics maintain complete transparency to their customers by revealing every ingredient used.
Dermatologically tested brands show their dedication towards their customers by handling their products that promise healthy skin. Fine Wine Cosmetics invests its time, resources, and a lot of care in crafting dermatologists-recommended products that are safe for human skin.
3. Formulated for Every Skin Type
Dermatology-tested colour cosmetics products are formulated to suit every skin type like dry, oily, acne, tanned, allergic, or any other skin type. India is a very vast country having diverse climatic conditions. Every variety of climatic conditions gives rise to a particular skin problem. A cosmetic product needs to be designed in such a way that it will help skin become prone to any climatic condition and will not cause any additional trouble.
Fine Wine Cosmetics offers you products that address skin issues and provide a formulation that proves to be effective for every skin type and condition.
Cosmetic products from Fine Wine Cosmetics are dermatologically tested.
Dermatology Tests
Patch Test
Patch tests are one of the initial tests as they help identify the sensitivity a cosmetic product can have on human skin. In the Patch test, a small amount of the product is applied to the skin and left for observation for about 24 to 48 hours to check for reactions like itching, rashes, and allergies.
In - Vitro Test
In the In-Vitro test, the product is applied to lab-grown skin cells. This step is done to ensure there is no major harmful or toxic ingredient that can cause severe skin disorders. This test is done to check how the product reacts to human skin before proceeding towards Clinical testing.
Clinical Test(Human Use Testing)
Under Clinical testing, the product is applied to humans. This is a very crucial step and needs government approval under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act 1940, and Cosmetics Rules 2020.
In this test, volunteers with different skin tones are arranged and then the product is applied to them to ensure that no advent reactions occur.
Other Tests:
pH Test
pH test plays a crucial part because if the pH levels of the skin are crossed, it could lead to conditions like premature ageing, barrier function disruption, skin irritation, and acne. The pH test measures the skin’s pH levels after product application. This is done to determine if the skin’s pH balance is maintained after using the product.
Comedogenicity Test
Comedogenicity Test checks the action of the product on pores. This test is done to test if a cosmetic product clogs the pores in the skin which can lead to acne.
Sensitisation Test
A small group of people are tested and observed for skin allergies to repeated use. This test is done to analyse the likelihood of a product to cause allergies.
Microbial Test
Microbial tests check if the product is safe from microbial or bacterial contamination to ensure that the product does not contain any harmful bacteria, microorganisms, or fungi.
Ophthalmological Test
Eye Irritation Test checks if the product can be applied to the eyes. This test ensures the product is safe around the eyes and does not cause any irritation or damage.
Stability Test
Stability tests provide a complete report on the safety, quality and efficiency of a cosmetic product. A cosmetic product should be stable and safe to use even after meeting non-favourable climatic conditions. Stability tests determine if the product is safe to use by people with every skin tone and condition.
Cosmetic products are exposed to different environmental conditions like temperature, light, and humidity. The cosmetic product should successfully maintain its effectivity on human skin and its aesthetic properties like colour, fragrance, and texture.
Why Cosmetic Brands Should Prioritise Dermatological Testing
Avoid Reputational Damage:
A brand’s image and reputation is maintained by the trust of their customers. When a customer invests in a product, they trust the brand and expect to deliver utmost sincerity in the quality of the products. To sustain trust and ensure that the quality of the product is not compromised the dermatological test plays an important role.
Meeting Market Demand For Safe Products:
As the days pass by, many brands are emerging with innovative products. So it is essential to ensure that any innovations can be safely used. To promise the authenticity of the product, these kinds of dermatological tests are mandatory.
Compliance with Regulatory Standards:
Consumer safety is paramount for any brand, as it directly impacts trust and brand loyalty. To ensure that products are safe for public use, manufacturers must adhere to rigorous regulations established by government authorities. These regulations are designed to oversee the formulation process, requiring thorough testing and compliance with safety standards. By following these guidelines, brands not only protect consumers but also promote responsible manufacturing practices within the industry.
Conclusion
