Problems in cosmetic packaging

The "Regulations on the Hygiene of Cosmetics" is hereinafter abbreviated as the "Regulations" and has been promulgated and implemented for 10 years since 1990. However, judging from the current state of health supervision and management work, there are still some deficiencies in cosmetic packaging work that need further exploration and improvement.
First, the main problems analysis 1, the health supervision of cosmetic packaging materials is at a blank stage of the "Regulations" Chapter II of the eighth article î–„
Containers and packaging materials that come in direct contact with cosmetics must meet national hygiene standards. There are many kinds of materials used to make cosmetics packaging containers, such as various types of plastics, glass, and metals. If improper materials are used, some harmful substances will be dissolved during the storage of cosmetics, which will not only directly affect the quality of cosmetics, but also cause bad skin. influences. For example, some glass products may undergo alkali dissolution during storage of the cosmetics to cause discoloration, precipitation, separation, and changes in the pH of the contents. Plastic products are generally equipped with additives, stabilizers, and pigments. Once these additives dissolve and react with the contents, they become deteriorating and odoriferous. The production companies are often pursuing aesthetics and characteristics such as styling, and there is no research on what kind of cosmetics should be used for the choice of materials and quality packaging. The health department has not put forward specific hygiene standards for cosmetic packaging containers so far. This undoubtedly left a hidden danger to the quality of cosmetics!
2. Inappropriate management of cosmetics labels. Production companies have expanded their sales in order to attract consumers. In addition to their brains in packaging, they have also made major fuss on product labels and manuals. Some products did not apply for special-purpose cosmetic approvals, but the brochures advertised their products with special features. Such as "this product can effectively prevent hair loss", "the product has the effect of dilute facial dark spots", etc.; some product labels use "above science and technology achievements", "pure natural products" and other absolute language. These irresponsible promotions mislead consumers.
Second, improvement measures Based on the above issues, we recommend the following improvements:
1. Carrying out the research on the hygienic properties of cosmetic packaging containers In view of the fact that there is no sanitary requirement for cosmetic packaging containers in China, the health department should specifically study the health issues existing in various existing packaging materials for cosmetics, and In response to the dissolution of harmful substances that may occur during the storage of cosmetics, the raw materials and additives used in the production of packaging containers are required, and corresponding hygiene standards are formulated so that the health department can provide evidence for the hygiene supervision and management of containers.
2. Strictly implement the product registration and filing system, and strengthen the label's audit label to provide consumers with product quality information. For the current market inspection, the problem of non-standard cosmetics labeling is high. Local health authorities should strengthen supervision and supervision of health supervisors at all levels, especially grass-roots workers, in addition to mastering the items that should be marked in the “Regulations” for labels. In addition to the requirements, it is also necessary to understand and master the taboo language for product promotion in the label specification. At the same time, the company puts forward the requirement of submitting the label sample to the trial in the new product packaging design stage, and eliminates the unqualified label in the “embryonic” state. This not only urges the enterprise to abide by the law, but also allows the enterprise to avoid the result that the packaging design does not meet the requirements. Economic losses.
