Toxicological Evaluation of Cosmetics

Each country has its own regulations for cosmetic safety management, of which toxicological safety evaluation is an indispensable part. Chemicals in cosmetics may cause skin sensitization, irritation, and other hazards, and only a few tests of health chemical and microbiological indicators are not comprehensive for cosmetic safety identification. Toxicological evaluation of safety applies prescribed toxicological procedures and methods to detect and evaluate the toxicity and potential health hazards of a chemical substance through toxicological animal testing and observation of exposed people, to make a decision on whether the substance can be placed on the market, and to evaluate the safety of human use of the substance.
