Abstract
|
|
|
|
The interest of cosmetic safety is increasing with the continuing incidents related to cosmetics safety. Cosmetic market is expanding because cosmetics is considered as a new economic impetus for the future. Accordingly, the Korean Cosmetics Act is changed to ensure the safety of cosmetics and improve the industry friendly atmosphere. This study is to compare and analyse the safety assurance trend among EU, USA and Republic of Korea. Atmosphere of cosmetics abroad is changing, for example, revision of regulation to assure the cosmetic safety, ban of animal testing, organization of voluntary international group of cosmetic regulatory authorities to maintain highest level of global consumer protection, international trade barriers is minimized. Recently, EU changed the regulation from EU directives to EU regulations which will be enforced in 2013 and focused on safety of cosmetics. US FDA is posting the Consumer Updates right away, if safety-related issues occur. Consequently, this study could be used as a basis to get an idea of advanced safety assurance system of cosmetics in Korea.
