Rules for labeling cosmetic products The main regulatory act labeling of 5 cosmetic products  REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND COUNCIL No. 1223/2009 of 2009 November 30 on cosmetic products (EC 2009). It is regulated by EU and LR legislation 6  Products supplied to the market must be safe for human health.  All goods sold to the consumer must be properly labeled and comply with the labeling requirements established by legislation.  The producer is responsible for the labeling of the goods and the correctness of the information provided, as well as the provision of the rules of use; for the labeling and information of imported goods - the importer.  It is prohibited to sell unlabeled goods and goods that do not meet the labeling requirements to the consumer. The seller is responsible for violations of this requirement. General branding requirements apply to all goods: 7  brand name,  the name, address or trade mark of the manufacturer or importer;  term of suitability for use – for goods whose properties change over time;  date of manufacture;  the purpose of the product, if it is not clear from the name of the product;  features of use, if this information is necessary for the safe and proper use of the product;  batch of goods;  the selling price of the product and the standard unit price;  constituent parts (ingredients, components);  other labeling requisites. Cosmetic products are placed on the market when the 8 following information is indicated on the packaging in indelible, easily legible and clearly visible letters:  Data of the responsible person (manufacturer, importer): name, address, phone, e-mail address etc. If multiple addresses are given, the one at which the responsible person keeps the product information file is distinguished; in the case of imported cosmetic products, the country of origin must be indicated.  Product quantity: mass (g, mg) or volume (L, mL). This requirement does not apply to packages containing less than 5 g or 5 ml of product, free product samples and single-use product packages.  9  The minimum shelf life of a cosmetic product is used for cosmetic products with a shelf life of less than 30 months. It is labeled: and Date (year, month, day) or "Best before..." and date If necessary, this information can be supplemented by indicating the conditions that must be met to ensure the specified lifetime. Cosmetic products with a minimum expiration date longer than 30 months, dates are not required. Such products indicate the time after opening during which the product is safe and can be used without any harm to the user (next slide).  The duration of the period from the opening of the package is 10 used for cosmetic products with a minimum shelf life of more than 30 months. It is denoted by: The open cap symbol marks single-use or non-perishable products (e.g. aerosols, perfumes, etc.)  11  Specific instructions on the precautions to be taken when using the product (e.g. "for professional use only", "wear gloves", "do not use on eyebrows and eyelashes", "avoid contact with skin", "may cause allergies", "in case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with water", etc.) if it is mandatory for safe use.  Production batch number or other identification reference for cosmetic products.  The purpose or function of the cosmetic product, except where it is obvious.  The list of ingredients, which are noted: 12 "Composition:" or "Ingredients:" or "INCI:" The ingredients are listed in descending order of the amount used. Fragrances, aromatic compositions and their raw materials are described by the words "perfume", "aroma" or "fragrance". Colorants (other than hair) may be listed after other ingredients in any order according to the color index, which is denoted by "CI" and a number or name. For decorative cosmetic products of various shades, all colorants may be listed after the inscription: "may contain" or after the symbol: "+/-". Ingredients with a concentration of less than 1% may be listed in any order after ingredients with a concentration of more than 1%.  13 If the small size of the primary packaging makes it impossible to provide specific precautions or a list of ingredients, then the important information is provided on an attached leaflet, label, strip, insert card, and a book mark is printed on the primary packaging, indicating that the information should be sought elsewhere, except in cases where it is not practically necessary. In such cases, the most important information (e.g. list of ingredients) can only be indicated on the secondary packaging. Dangerous substances harmful to 14 health  Carcinogenic substances are substances and preparations that can cause cancer or increase the incidence of cancer if they enter the human body through the digestive tract, respiratory tract or penetrate the skin, or by other means.  Mutagenic substances are substances and preparations that, when they enter the human body through the digestive tract, respiratory tract or penetrate the skin, or by other routes, can cause hereditary genetic damage or increase their frequency.  Substances toxic to reproduction are substances and preparations which, when they enter the human body through the digestive tract, respiratory tract or penetrate the skin, or by other means, can cause non-hereditary harm to the offspring or increase their frequency and/or can harm the male or female sexual performance or reproductive functions or increase the frequency of harm. Categories of harmful substances 15 Harmful substances (carcinogens, mutagens, reproductive toxins - CMR substances):  Category 1 – harmful substances (causes cancer and mutations, harms reproduction);  Category 2 – substances considered harmful to health due to their known properties;  Category 3 - substances that may be harmful to health, but there is a lack of data to prove this. Sometimes a finer classification of categories is used, distinguishing groups A and B: e.g. 2A – substance considered harmful to humans, 2B - substance considered harmful to animals, etc. 2C (less common) - potentially harmful substance. Safety signs for hazardous, harmful 16 chemicals Hazardous chemical substances - such chemical substances and preparations, at least one of which can be attributed to one of the following:  explosives,  flammable materials,  oxidizing agents,  toxic substances,  corrosive substances,  sensitizing substances,  environmentally hazardous substances,  irritants,  harmful substances. Hazardous chemicals have their own specific labeling (following slides).  Explosives are solid, liquid, paste or gel-like substances and preparations that can react exothermically (releasing a lot of heat) without atmospheric oxygen, rapidly emitting gas, and detonate under specified test conditions, ignite quickly or partially heat up in a limited space to explode.  Flammable substances are liquid substances and preparations with a low flash point  (ignition) temperature; highly flammable substances:  substances and preparations which, without the use of any energy, can heat up at ambient temperature and eventually ignite on contact with air;  solid substances and preparations that can quickly ignite after a short contact with an ignition source and, after removing the ignition source, continue to burn or burn;  liquid substances or preparations with a very low flash point;  substances and preparations which emit dangerous quantities of flammable gases when in contact with water or moist air.  Oxidizing substances are substances and preparations that, due to interaction with other substances, especially flammable ones, cause a very exothermic reaction (release a lot of heat) - burn without a flame.  Toxic substances are substances and preparations that, when they enter the human body in small quantities through the digestive tract, respiratory tract or penetrate through the skin, or by other means, cause death or acute or chronic health problems.  Disruptive (corrosive) substances are substances and preparations, which, interacting with living tissues, can destroy them.  Sensitizing (sensitizing) substances are substances and preparations which, when inhaled or penetrated through the skin, can cause a hypersensitivity reaction and further exposure to the substance or preparation can cause harmful effects.  Environmentally hazardous substances - substances and preparations which, after entering the environment, can cause immediate or delayed danger to one or several components of the environment.  Irritant substances are substances and preparations that, after a single prolonged or repeated contact with the skin or mucous membrane may cause inflammation.  Harmful substances are substances and preparations that, when they enter the human body through the digestive tract, respiratory tract, or penetrate the skin, or by other means, cause death or acute or chronic health problems. Labeling of the package 20 The general requirements for packaging labeling are set out in the Packaging and Packaging Waste Management Rules, approved by the Minister of the Environment of the Republic of Lithuania in 2002. June 27 by order no. 348. In accordance with the aforementioned rules, packages are labeled with the materials used to make them. Numerical codes and letter abbreviations are used to identify such materials (next slide). PLASTIC PACKAGING TEXTILE PACKAGING 21 PET 1 (2a), HDPE 2, PVC 3, LDPE 4, cotton TEX 60, PP 5, PS 6, different plastic 7-19 jute TEX 61, PAPER/CARTON PACKAGING other cotton 62-69 PAP 20-39 (2b) GLASS PACKAGING (2d) METAL PACKAGING colorless glass GL 70, steel FE 40, aluminum ALU 41(2c), other green glass GL 71, brown metal 42-49 glass GL 72, other glass WOODEN PACKAGING FOR 50-59 73-79 COMBINATION 80-99 PACKAGE 1 2 2a 2b 2c 2d Other signs on the 22 package: 6 10 3 7 11 4 8 12 CE or EC 5 9 13 EAC  23 14 fl.oz, FL.OZ 15 EAN13 (European Article Number) fluid ounce 0,5 fl.oz – 15 mL 1,0 fl.oz – 30 mL 1,5 fl.oz – 45 mL 1,7 fl.oz – 50 mL 2,0 fl.oz – 60 mL 16 QR – quick response code 2,5 fl.oz – 75 mL 3,4 fl.oz –100 mL "Humane" cosmetics 24 17  Ecological signs 25 18  26 It is important to remember that "natural" cosmetics are not always really natural. Advertising slogans "contains natural substances" are often heard. "ecological components" etc. may mean that the amount of natural substances in the cosmetic is minimal, pales next to all other synthetic components. Therefore, only cosmetics labeled with Eco labels can actually be called natural or organic. If no sign is visible, it is advisable to carefully study the composition of the product: the ingredients are written on the label in descending order of their quantity, so if the mentioned natural substance is in the last place, it is at best 0.01% in the cosmetic.  27 Organic agriculture is a farming system that aims to grow organic agricultural products without the use of synthetic fertilizers and growth stimulants and comply with other established requirements (strict control in the growing area, raw material collection, processing and analysis processes). The biodynamic farming has even higher requirements: natural processes occurring in the soil are preserved, only the necessary equipment is used, cultivated crops are carefully combined and diversified, etc. Inspection and testing of raw material cultivation, assembly, material extraction, cosmetic foundation effectiveness and other processes are extremely expensive. Therefore, completely organic cosmetics are few and expensive on the market. The majority consists of synthetic cosmetics with natural ingredients; how many of those substances and their real benefits are shown by the list of ingredients and the labeling of the package. Synthetic, natural and organic 28 cosmetics Synthetic cosmetics - containing mostly synthetic substances obtained in laboratories during chemical reactions. Natural cosmetics - (living, organic, green - synonyms of manufacturers) - containing biologically active substances naturally found in nature. Organic cosmetics - strictly certified cosmetics. According to the certification mark, it is possible to understand how many % of its ingredients were obtained from raw materials grown on organic farms. Literature and references 29  Regulation of the European Parliament and Council no. 1223/2009 of 2009 November 30 for cosmetic products.  Order of the Minister of the Environment of the Republic of Lithuania on the approval of packaging and packaging waste management in 2002.
