Why do we need a safety assessment?This is a lady who burnt her skin using a self-heating face mask

Excerpt from the assessment

• The margin of safety is 100, we aim for 200

• The material is highly exothermic

• The warnings have to be made very clear

• There are materials in the formula with limited topical history of use

Product After Opening13

Period of Minimum DurabilityThe old Best Before or Use By date….

• Where the minimum durability is more than 30 months, the consumer should be informed of the period of time after opening that the cosmetic product may be used without any harm to the consumer. However, this requirement should not apply where the concept of the durability after opening is not relevant, that is to say for single-use products, products not at risk of deterioration or products which do not open.

• The date of minimum durability shall be clearly expressed and shall consist of either the month and year or the day, month and year, in that order. If necessary, this information shall be supplemented by an indication of the conditions which must be satisfied to guarantee the stated durability.

• Indication of the date of minimum durability shall not be mandatory for cosmetic products with a minimum durability of more than 30 months. For such products, there shall be an indication of the period of time after opening for which the product is safe and can be used without any harm to the consumer. This information shall be indicated, except where the concept of durability after opening is not relevant, by the symbol shown in point 2 of Annex VII followed by the period (in months and/or years)

These are the perfume allergens

This is the IFRA category

Tells if within safety limitsMaximum allergen level for category

Choose the product

Now we have to look at the exposure to the product and consider what type of product we have e.g. rinse off or leave on and the risk factor.

The numbers in the boxes drive the software

Different products fit into different IFRA categories and change the tolerated allergen levels

This is the number of allergens present

IFRA Perfumery Compliance

• The toxicologist should have checked the product class versus the allergens content, but the IFRA conformance certificate gives maximum levels in each and is a double check.
