§ 111670 Cosmetic Adulteration Standards

Key Takeaways

  • •If a makeup or beauty product has something harmful in it, it's considered bad and not allowed.
  • •The product is bad if it can hurt you when you use it the way the label or ads say to use it.
  • •Even if the label doesn’t say how to use it, if using it the normal way can hurt you, it’s still bad.

Example

You buy a face cream that says it’s for daily use, but it has a hidden chemical that burns your skin after a few days.

The face cream is bad because it has something harmful in it that hurts you when you use it like the label says.
