Cosmetics Composition Analysis-NOA Testing & Certification Group

Cosmetics Composition Analysis

Component analysis technology is mainly used for foreign matter analysis, failure analysis, industrial diagnosis, raw material consistency evaluation, finished product consistency evaluation, formula restoration, etc. Quantitative identification. For example, analysis of cosmetic raw materials, specific ingredients and content, foreign matter, etc. Through this method, enterprises can monitor product quality, find and solve problems in the production process in time, understand and improve product performance, and further innovate.

NOA has built a first-class testing platform around cosmetics. It analyzes the chemical name and component content of the sample components through precision instruments such as spectroscopy, chromatography, and nuclear magnetic resonance, and restores the formula. Specify ingredients, identify raw materials, auxiliaries, specific ingredients, content and foreign matter, etc.

Relevant laws/Regulations:

○ Safety Specifications for Cosmetics (2015 edition)

○ Announcement of the State Food and Drug Administration on Updating the List of Prohibited Ingredients for Cosmetics (No. 74, 2021)

Q&A

Is it reasonable to fill in the formulation of Cassone compound form solvent-free for cosmetic Cassone raw material system?

Cassone is a common preservative in cosmetics. It is a mixture of methylchloroisothiazolinone and methylisothiazolinone with magnesium chloride and magnesium nitrate. Cassone used in cosmetics is usually an aqueous solution. According to the requirements of the "Regulations on the Administration of Cosmetics Registration and Filing Materials": "The product formulation should provide the names of all raw materials, and the raw material names include standard Chinese names, international cosmetic raw material names (referred to as INCI names) or English names." If the Cassone contains water or other solvents , should be filled in the formula accordingly, to ensure that the formula table contains all the raw material information.

Does vegetable oil, such as "sweet almond oil", need to indicate the specific extraction site when filling in the product formula?

Vegetable oils mainly come from plant seeds and fruits, but also partly from leaves, bark, roots, petals and stamens of plants. The extraction form of plants is more complicated. Since its efficacy and safety are determined by the chemical components contained in it, extracts from different organs (plant parts) will have different types and contents of chemical components. There are also differences in efficacy and safety, such as Sophora flavescens seeds are banned, while Sophorae Radix are available. In order to clarify the safety of the source of plant raw materials, it is recommended to indicate the extraction site when filling out the formula.

The product formula is * * plant extract, can the name be * * pure dew?

According to the definition of hydrosol, hydrosol refers to a 100% saturated distilled stock solution separated from the essential oil during the distillation and extraction process. Plant extracts refer to substances extracted or processed from plants (all or a part of plants) using appropriate solvents or methods. The definitions of the two are different, and the preparation method, saturation, and the proportion and content of ingredients in the raw materials are also different. Therefore, plant extracts cannot be equivalent to pure dew, and it is not appropriate to name pure dew when using ** plant extracts as raw materials.

After the cosmetic raw material safety information registration platform goes online, can only the raw material information be associated with the raw material reporting code?

After the cosmetic raw material safety information registration platform goes online, the cosmetic registrant, filer, and domestic responsible person can still fill in the raw material safety information document issued by the raw material manufacturer through the cosmetic registration and filing information service platform, or fill in the raw material safety information generated by the cosmetic raw material safety information registration platform. The raw material reporting code is associated with the raw material safety information file.
