化妝品中的微量二氧雜環己烷,對消費者並不構成安全疑慮。


確保產品的安全性一直是化妝品業界的首要任務。化妝品業界的目標是按產品所示用途,提供安全而有效的產品,並且有穩定的產品供應。
 
「二氧雜環己烷」 1,4 Dioxane ( 又名“二噁烷”、二氧陸圜 )。並非化妝品成份。二氧雜環己烷並非生產商蓄意添加於產品內的成份,而是來自某些原材料的雜質,化妝品業界已盡量在生產過程中以技術減低二氧雜環己烷出現於產品內,但仍有可能在技術上無法避免而有微量的殘留。
 
非刻意添加而技術上無法避免由原料中殘留帶來的微量二氧雜環己烷,在歐盟European Cosmetics Directive 76/768/EEC法例是允許的。在許多國家地區的化妝品法例中,也有相關規定。
 
澳大利亞衛生部( Australian Government, Department of Health and Ageing) 認為在消費品中含有100ppm以下(百萬分之一百以下) 的二氧雜環己烷是安全的。
(參考 : http://www.nicnas.gov.au/Publications/CAR/PEC/PEC7/Summary_Report.asp)
 
美國食物藥物監管局 (US Food and Drug Administration)已表明在化妝品中的微量二氧雜環己烷對消費者並不構成安全疑慮。
 
現引述美國食物藥物監管局的聲明如下:
 
『在們所監察化妝品的過程中發現的微量二氧雜環己烷,其水平對消費者並不構成安全疑慮。』

The 1,4-dioxane levels found in cosmetics do not present a hazard to consumers.

 

 


The safety of products has always been the top priority of cosmetic industry. The goal of cosmetic industry is to consistently provide products that are safe and effective for their intended uses.
 
1,4 Dioxane is not a cosmetic ingredient. 1,4 dioxane is not intentionally added to any product but can be present in trace quantities in some raw materials. The cosmetic industry has been taken the available technology to minimize its presence in cosmetic. There may be trace amount limited by the available technology.
 
For unintentional presence of trace amount of 1,4 dioxane carried over from raw material is allowed under European Cosmetics Directive 76/768/EEC. Similar allowance is found in the cosmetic regulation of many other countries/territories.
 
Department of Health and Ageing of Australian Government has the opinion that the presence of trace 1,4 dioxane not more than 100 ppm in consumer products is safe.
(http://www.nicnas.gov.au/Publications/CAR/PEC/PEC7/Summary_Report.asp)
 
US Food and Drug Administration have the opinion that such minute presence poses no hazard to consumers.
 
" The 1,4-dioxane levels we have seen in our monitoring of cosmetics do not present a hazard to consumers."

化妝品使用的「複合甲醛」(Formaldehyde Releaser)防腐劑都是安全的,是為世界各地政府所允許使用。


消費者在使用化妝品及個人護理用品期間,產品可能無意地被黴菌及細菌所污染,防腐劑主要防止這些黴菌及細菌在產品中生長。任何產品只要它含有水份,就有機會被黴菌及細菌所腐化,使產品發霉、變色、變味、甚至分解。在某些情況下,沒有足夠防腐的產品,當被污染後,微生物可以滋長到危害健康的地步。「甲醛釋放劑」是一類可添加於在化妝品的防腐劑,它們會釋放出極微量的「游離甲醛」以保護化妝品。
 
微量的「甲醛」(Formaldehyde)存在於水果、蔬菜、菌類及海鮮等天然食物之內,是一種常見的新陳代謝衍生物。(可参考http://www.food.gov.uk/science/research/researchinfo/foodcomponentsresearch/phytoestrogensresearch/t05-t06programme/t05t06projectlist/t05027project/).
 
「甲醛釋放劑」類防腐劑 ( 例如 Quaternium-15, Imidazolidinyl urea, Diazolidinyl urea, DMDM hydantoin, 2-Bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol )在溶解於水中後可以穩定地釋放極微量的「游離甲醛」,這些極微量甲醛是對人體是無害的,卻能保護化妝品免於變壞。「甲醛釋放劑」類防腐劑如Quaterium-15均是得到全球多個國家/地區官方認可,包括歐盟(27個國家)、美國、日本、加拿大、中國、東協(10個國家)、香港特別行政區等等。官方公告如歐盟European Cosmetics Directive 76/768/EEC法例內的可使用的化妝品防腐劑名單中,化粧品及個人護理用品內其容許的游離甲醛不可高於0.2% w/w(百分之零點2)。
 
有關「甲醛釋放劑」類防腐劑的安全標準,均已經由全球多國的政府組織、學術機構及業界進行審核及確認,歐盟政府體系的產品安全委員會SCCNFP在2002年12月已提交有關意見。
 ( http://ec.europa.eu/food/fs/sc/sccp/out187_en.pdf).

化妝品含不高於0.2% w/w的游離甲醛是安全的,也符合相關的法律規範。

 Formaldehyde Releasers use in cosmetics are safe and are accepted as cosmetic

 preservative by government agencies in Hong Kong and around the world. 


Preservatives are added to personal care and cosmetic products to prevent the growth of fungi and bacteria that may be introduced by the consumer during use period. Any product that contains water is susceptible to being spoiled by the growth of fungi or bacteria, causing problems such as unsightly mold growth, discoloration, malodor or breakdown of the product. Under certain conditions, an inadequately preserved product can become contaminated, allowing dangerous levels of microorganisms to grow. Formaldehyde Releaser are a class of cosmetic preservatives which will liberate very minutes amount of free formaldehyde to protect the cosmetic product.
 
Formaldehyde is found naturally at low levels in a wide range of foods such as fruit, vegetables, mushrooms and seafood. It is a normal product of human metabolism.  (http://www.food.gov.uk/science/research/researchinfo/foodcomponentsresearch/phytoestrogensresearch/t05-t06programme/t05t06projectlist/t05027project/).
 
Formaldehyde Releaser preservatives ( such as Quaternium-15, Imidazolidinyl urea, Diazolidinyl urea, DMDM hydantoin, 2-Bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol ) are compounds which will release a stable but very minute amount of formaldehyde to aqueous solution. The trace amount of formaldehyde is safe to human and is yet effective to protect the cosmetic product. Formaldehyde releaser such as Quaterium-15 are listed in the approved cosmetic preservatives under "European Cosmetics Directive 76/768/EEC"in EU countries (27 countries), and are also allowed in United States, Japan, Canada, Mainland China, ASEAN countries (10 countries), Hong Kong and all over the world. The allowed free formaldehyde is up to 0.2% w/w in cosmetic products under EU Directive.
 
The safety of use of Formaldehyde Releaser has been reviewed and confirmed by various government agencies, academic and industry. EU government body SCCNFP provided their opinion on Dec. 2002.
( http://ec.europa.eu/food/fs/sc/sccp/out187_en.pdf).
 

Low level of free formaldehyde under 0.2% w/w found in cosmetics is safe and acceptable by regulatory authories.

有關香港消費者委員會美白面膜測試報告    


根據香港消費者委員會在昨天(2009216)公佈的美白面膜測試報告,在微生物測試及防腐劑測試等項目中,所測試的面膜樣本全部產品均符合中國《化妝品衛生規範》安全標準。本地進口化粧品如面膜等產品大多來自美國、歐盟等國家,所測試的面膜樣本也合乎當地本的嚴格化粧法規,產品安全無容置疑。產品亦有詳盡的使用說明,消費者已有足夠的指引。而對羥基苯甲酸脂類成份( Parabens )是可使用於食物、化妝品的防腐劑,為中國、美國、歐盟、日本等國家所認可。
 
但有關測試報告公佈後,許多傳媒並沒有清楚指出所測試的面膜樣本全部均符合中國《化妝品衛生規範》安全標準,產品安全可靠香港化粧品同業協會重申該報告的重點,免除消費者不必要的疑慮,消費者應可以放心使用面膜產品

Report on Facial mask issued by Consumer Council of Hong Kong

 

 


The Consumer Council of Hong Kong released a report on Facial Mask yesterday ( Feb. 16, 2009). According to the report, all the samples tested on microbe and preservative items are conforming to the "National Hygiene Standard of Cosmetics" of China. Most of the facial mask products sold in Hong Kong are imported from United States, Europe and other overseas countries. Those tested samples also meet the stringent regulations of their exporting countries. The safety of these products is thus proven. These cosmetic samples are with use instructions in their packaging, which provide adequate information to consumers. The referenced ingredient "Paraben" is a preservative for food and cosmetic, and is allowed in most countries including United States, European Union countries, and Japan.  
 

Our trade association has noted that quite a few media quote this analytical report without clear expression on the main finding that all the samples are found to conform to the "National Hygiene Standard of Cosmetics" by Consumer Council. These products are found to be safe and reliable. For helping consumers to wipe out their unnecessary concern, The Cosmetic and Perfumery Association of Hong Kong would like to re-emphasis this main finding. Consumer should continue to use these facial mask products

午餐聚會暨專題講座】


對於我們化粧品、美容行業來說,對「品牌」這個主題相信並不陌生。因為,我們行內各大小企業一向都有代理大小不同的品牌,甚至是不少美容顧問本身就是一個閃亮的品牌。可是,如何建立起一個「品牌」、如何令「品牌」成為大眾的焦點、如何保持「品牌」歷久不衰,大家就未必有清晰的理解。所以,這次「午餐聚會暨專題講座」我們請來了【香港品牌發展局】的陳淑玲主席就有關「品牌」的概念,作簡明的介紹,並引述最新的「品牌」資訊。事實上,陳淑玲主席的演說生動有趣,更能引起大家對「品牌」概念的反思,從而產生新思維、新策略、突破傳統、再造優勢。在當前這充滿壓力下的營商環境,正正是我們需要的「養份」。一如陳主席所言,我們期待著在不久的將來,大家會再次見面,或以另外的型式繼續深入討論「品牌」的其他。
 
每次的「午餐聚會暨專題講座」都得到各位會員及同業友好的支持,踴躍出席。我們也希望能夠做得更好,故此歡迎各位提供意見,將覺得需要改善的地方,甚至希望有那一類型主講嘉賓出席等,透過傳真、電子郵件或電話聯絡秘書處,我們定必盡力改善,滿足大家的要求,在此先行多謝各位的回應。
