cosmetic safety assessment

Cosmetic safety assessment is the process of evaluating whether a cosmetic product and its ingredients are safe for use. Experts review scientific data on ingredients, including how they might affect health, look for potential allergens or irritants, and consider factors like concentration and frequency of use. The goal is to ensure that the product won't cause harm when used as intended. This assessment helps companies meet legal requirements and provides consumers with confidence that the products they use are safe. It combines science, testing, and risk analysis to protect public health while allowing innovation in cosmetic products.
