Skin Care Secrets Revealed: Borderline Products. When is a cosmetic not a cosmetic? |
By Kolbjorn Borseth
 The following is extracted from an article by Jim Chesney
reporting on a talk in Bristol by Debra Redbourns that appeared in the
June/July 2008 Society of Cosmetic Scientists Newsletter.
What constitutes a cosmetic product is clearly defined by
EU Cosmetics Directive and MHRA (Medicines and Health Care Products Regulating
Agency.
Areas to consider include the composition of the product,
its function, the area of application and any claims made for the product.
Medicine

Cosmetic
(what you can claim)

Claims to treat head lice/fungal infection
|
Claims to reduce spot-causing bacteria
|
|

|
Cools and hydrates after-sun skin

|
Itching classified as a disease

A product suitable for use on eczema-prone skin (ONLY
claimed on products in UK)*

comment: I thought this was interesting as you can use the terminology
in the right column to describe and sell your products.
