How can I know whether cosmetics contain chemical components?
Although women keep applying this cream and that honey to their faces every day, how many people really know what the ingredients of these cosmetics are? What role does each ingredient play on the face? Miss Chen, who works in a foreign company, has been using a French brand of high-end cosmetics and regularly goes to a nearby beauty salon for beauty treatment. Recently, however, she suddenly switched to cosmetics imported from the United States, and it is easy for beauty salons to be afraid to go. It turns out that a while ago, the media were talking about "mad cow disease" caused by cosmetics, and countries and regions with epidemics had the French name of 18. There are also media reports that some beauty-loving women use homemade products without hygiene licenses in beauty salons. As a result, they were allergic to skin, suffered from severe lead and mercury poisoning, and had to be hospitalized for lead and mercury discharge. The beautiful woman almost lost her face. Miss Chen is puzzled: What cosmetics are safe? How much does it cost to buy a solid heart? A lot of people are confused. Recently, the reporter got a list of cosmetic ingredients from the Cosmetics Department of Beijing Health Supervision Institute, some of which are familiar and some are unfamiliar. From the ingredient list, we can easily find that some raw materials of cosmetics come from plants, such as almonds and aloe vera, and some come from animals such as cattle and sheep. This wave of cosmetics infected with "mad cow disease" makes Amy's ladies pale when they talk about animal-derived ingredients. According to the person in charge of the Food Supervision and Management Department of the Health Department of the Ministry of Health, most of the active ingredients of biological skin care products come from the body or tissue extracts of animals such as cattle and sheep, and the extracts of different tissues have different functions. According to the research of the World Health Organization, the risks of different parts of sick cattle are different. Brain, spinal cord and eyeball are highly contagious, small intestine, bone marrow, liver and placenta are less contagious, and muscle, milk and blood are not contagious. Once cosmetics made from animal-derived raw materials such as brains and nerve tissues, internal organs, placenta and blood of cattle and sheep in countries and regions where mad cow disease occurs, it is possible to get sick, especially cosmetics like lipstick, which are more harmful when applied to lips. When talking about harmful substances such as lead and mercury in cosmetics, the person in charge told reporters that the content of lead, mercury and arsenic in cosmetics has been clearly stipulated by the state. If you use cosmetics that exceed the standard for a long time, it will cause poisoning with obvious symptoms. Need hospitalization. He suggested that consumers, whether buying cosmetics in shopping malls or going to beauty salons, must choose cosmetics with the approval number of the health department. Imported cosmetics must have the import batch number and Chinese logo, and cosmetics for special purposes such as sunscreen, slimming, breast augmentation and hair removal must also have a separate approval number. For the convenience of consumers, the Ministry of Health has published all the approved cosmetic names on its website. Experts warn that the risk of using three no products may pay a heavy price.
