The "Cosmetics Classification Rules and Category Catalogs" released by the State Drug Administration stipulates that the efficacy of cosmetics used by children aged 3 to 12 claims to have clean, makeup remover, moisturizing, beauty modification, aroma, hair care, sunscreen, relief, soothing, refreshing body body ; The efficacy of cosmetics used by infants 0 to 3 years old is limited to cleaning, moisturizing, hair care, sun protection, soothing, and refreshing.

It can be seen that the efficacy of cosmetics used by infants 0 to 3 years old does not include "makeup" categories such as beauty modification and makeup remover. To this end, parents should not buy "makeup" for infants and young children under the age of 3. If the makeup and cosmetics label claims that infants under the age of 3 are available, it is illegal.

When purchasing children's cosmetics, you should choose a qualified regular merchant, carefully read the label marking and verify the product information, and identify the "Little Golden Shield" logo. When consumers purchase children's cosmetics, first of all, you should carefully check the qualifications such as the operator's business license, choose a regular business merchant to trade, and retain the purchase vouchers such as invoices and receipts. Secondly, try to choose brands and products with high popularity and better consumer evaluation, and carefully read the label labeling information on the product packaging, especially product composition, efficacy, use of population, production date and shelf life, precautions, etc. Finally, check the product registration or filing information.

Children's cosmetics "Little Gold Shield" logo

It should be noted that the "Little Golden Shield" logo is marked on the cosmetics packaging, which only indicates that the product belongs to children's cosmetics, which is different from adult cosmetics, toys and other products. It does not mean that the product has been approved by the regulatory authority or was certified by quality and safety.

There is no "food -grade" cosmetics, and there is a safety risk of food intake of cosmetics. Recently, some merchants use some raw materials that can be used to produce "food" when producing cosmetics. They take the opportunity to say that such cosmetics are "food -grade" cosmetics, implying that parents use such cosmetics to use it safer to children. In fact, cosmetics and food are two different types of products. According to different regulations, different product standards, raw materials requirements, production conditions, etc. are applied to so -called "food -grade" cosmetics at all. It is necessary to evaluate the safety of the raw materials for the safety of cosmetics. At the same time, it also needs to evaluate product formulas, production processes, usage methods, storage conditions, etc. To this end, Article 13 of the "Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Children's Cosmetics" clearly stipulates that "children's cosmetics labels must not be marked with words or food -related patterns such as" food -grade '' "edible".

They are managed according to different laws and regulations, and their management measures and requirements are also different. At present, some products such as "Children's Dress Put" or "Baby Damage Destern" consisting of eye shadow, blush, lipstick, nail polish, etc. are very popular in the market. In fact, many of these products are produced by toy manufacturers for "makeup toys" for dolls and other decorations. They only perform production and inspection in accordance with the production standards of toys and quality inspection standards. Registration or filing, not as children's cosmetics management. According to the "lipstick toys" and "blush toys" produced in accordance with the standards of general toy product standards, it may contain substances that are not suitable as cosmetic raw materials, such as color agents with relatively high safety risks. skin. In addition, such "makeup toys" may also have problems with heavy metals.
