Study on the Usage and Supervision Trend of Salicylic Acid in Anti-acne and Anti-freckle Cosmetics
The physical and chemical testing methods 3.10 and 4.2 in the"Safety Technical Specifications for Cosmetics"were applied to check and analyze 120 batches of anti-acne cosmetics and 128 batches of Anti-freckle cosmetics.The sample label identification and testing results were statistically analyzed,and the use of salicylic acid inanti-acne and Anti-freckle cosmetics was investigated.The results showed that salicylic acid was detected in 36 batches of anti-acne samples,with a detection rate of 30%and a failure rate of 2.5%;Salicylic acid was detected in 3 batches of Anti-freckle samples,with a detection rate of 2.3%and a failure rate of 0.8%.Given the regulatory requirements,testing methods,and industry status of salicylic acid in cosmetics,it is should recommended that regulatory authorities not simply rely on the purpose of use of salicylic acid indicated on product labels and directly apply the maximum allowable concentration requirements to determine product compliance.Instead,they should comprehensively consider the source of salicylic acid in the product and make a correct judgment on product compliance.
