Children's cosmetics: "face value" is more safe

A few days ago, Guo Caiping, a full -time mother who lived in Changsha, Hunan Province, was a little worried when she learned her daughter's wish -8 -year -old daughter wanted a set of makeup boxes.

Today, online and offline sales platforms have a variety of beauty products. When you open up social media, you can see a lot of beauty videos and makeup tutorials. With the rapid development of the beauty industry, the rise of short videos, and after the "burden reduction", more and more children have developed artistic expertise and participating in literary performances. Children's cosmetics have more demand and larger markets.

"8 -year -old children should not invest too much energy on makeup, but I always buy her special cosmetics for her children. It is better than that she can buy the 'Sanwu' product quietly by her own pocket money. Guo Caiping decided to satisfy her daughter's wish and buy a set of makeup suits for children online.

Open the e -commerce platform to search for "Children's Makeup Set", Guo Caiping found that the price of goods ranges from tens of yuan to hundreds of yuan, and the packaging is beautiful and there are many types. Many merchants have also posted product information such as "production permits" and "test reports".

The reporter also saw on the e -commerce platform that a 36 yuan product was made into a double -layer cake shape. The foundation of foundation, lipstick, eye shadow, blush, etc., were also equipped with puff and makeup brushes. It looks like a cosmetics suit that can be used by children. After careful observation, it is found that the product is a toy for doll dolls. If you don't look closely, it is difficult to identify it with cosmetics. In the test report from the seller, the sample name of the inspection is also dressed up, not cosmetics. Although the seller claims that the product is "peaceful material", "mild skin and skin", "cleaning is clean", many buyers still leave a message to comment on "poor quality", "pungent smell", "children's allergies" ... Even so, this product, this product The monthly sales volume is still more than 2,000 pieces.

Cosmetics and toys themselves are two different types of products, which are implemented according to different laws and regulations. According to the "lipstick toys" and "blush toys" produced in accordance with the standards of toy product standards, they are not managed as cosmetics. Among them, it may contain substances that are not suitable as cosmetics raw materials. If they are used for children, they may stimulate the skin. In addition, there are some "makeup toys" that there may be problems with heavy metals, which will damage physical health after use.

The relevant person in charge of the Cosmetics Supervision Department of the State Drug Administration said that at present, the cosmetics that can be used for children can be used, but the level of quality and safety is uneven. The healthy impact of physical health has hindered the healthy and orderly development of the children's cosmetics market.

In order to enhance the recognition of children's cosmetics and ensure consumers' right to know, the State Drug Administration issued a child cosmetics logo- "Little Golden Shield".

According to the "Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Children's Cosmetics", starting from May 1, 2022, children's cosmetics applying for registration or filing must be marked with "Little Golden Shield". Children's cosmetics applying for registration or filing before shall not be labeled in accordance with regulations , Cosmetics registered and recorder shall complete the product label update before May 1, 2023.

However, the "Little Golden Shield" logo is not released for a long time. Many consumers do not understand the logo, and it is easy to be emptied by some bad businesses. When selling the products, these merchants deliberately linked the "Little Gold Shield" logo to the promotional terms such as national approval and quality certification, and intentionally confused the meaning of the "Little Gold Shield" logo.

"'Little Golden Shield' is not a product quality certification logo, but children's cosmetics different from adult cosmetics, disinfection products, toys and other distinguished products. , Does not mean that the product has obtained the quality and safety certification of the regulatory authorities. "The person in charge said that non -children's cosmetics must not marked the" Little Golden Shield "to prevent other products from touching the fish with the banner of" children's cosmetics ". Parents must pay attention to screening when buying.

Children's skin barrier function is not mature, and it is more sensitive to stimulation of foreign substances and is more vulnerable to damage. The State Drug Administration's "Regulations for Children's Cosmetics Supervision and Management" clearly clarifies the principles of efficacy, that is, in addition to the categories of cleaning, moisturizing, and sun protection according to the physiological characteristics of children's skin, it is not recommended to use cosmetics too much. For makeup, it is not recommended to use except for special occasions such as participating in performances. At the same time, my country has strictly supervised children's cosmetics, and has put forward higher regulatory requirements in terms of product formula design, safety assessment, and production conditions. When parents buy cosmetics for their children, they can inquire about product information, understand cosmetics science popularization knowledge, and report complaints, and report reports.

Relevant experts from the Pharmaceutical Evaluation Center of the State Drug Administration suggest that children should use cosmetics under adult care. Before use, they can apply a small amount on the middle and lower parts of the inside of the front arm. Observe for a period of time, if there is no redness, itching, burning and burning, and burning, Tingle, then use it normally according to the instructions of use. It is particularly noteworthy that do not let children use adult cosmetics at will. Some of the effect ingredients in adult cosmetics may stimulate and cause damage to children's skin.
