Understanding Cosmetics Labelling
Some interesting information found online, which can help you a) use safe products; b) determine the products’ origins (and possibly identify repackagers); c) find product ingredients to help avoid health or allergic conflicts; and d) determine its safe/useful lifespan.
These points are required by US law, by the FDA and by the Department of Weights and Measures. Knowing this can help you spot repackaged products, contact the actual manufacturer if there’s a health problem, and see which “original” products from your favorite indie MMU company really are their own creation. (Interestingly enough, I think that many of the cosmetics companies I purchase from need to add some information to their labels to be fully in compliance.)
