Abstract(s)
Os produtos cosméticos fazem parte do nosso quotidiano, de tal modo que quase nem nos apercebemos incluem uma vasta gama de produtos em várias categorias, desde o gel de duche usado no banho matinal, até à pasta de dentes ou ao sabonete com lavamos as mãos várias vezes por dia. Tratando-se de um elevado número de produtos disponíveis no mercado da UE (mais de um milhão de diferentes produtos), torna-se importante facultar aos consumidores informações específicas, compreensíveis e fiáveis, fundamentadas utilizando métodos geralmente aceites, permitindo-lhes obter informação precisa para tomar a melhor decisão, para encontrar os que melhor sirvam as suas necessidades. Segundo o Regulamento (CE) nº1223/2009 da UE, os produtos cosméticos são definidos como "qualquer substância ou mistura destinada a ser posta em contato com as partes externas do corpo humano (epiderme, sistema piloso e capilar, unhas, lábios e órgãos genitais externos) ou com os dentes e as mucosas bocais, tendo em vista, exclusiva ou principalmente, limpá-los, perfumá-los, modificar-lhes o aspeto, protegê-los, mantê-los em bom estado ou corrigir os odores corporais". Desta forma, os ensaios de estabilidade e microbiológicos dos produtos têm por objetivo avaliar as características físicas, químicas e microbiológicas das matérias-primas, produtos acabados e a interação destes com as embalagens, gerando dados confiáveis, com um menor espaço de tempo. Por isso, a verificação da conformidade das especificações deve ser vista como um requisito necessário para a garantia da qualidade. segurança e eficácia do produto e não somente como uma exigência regulatória.
Cosmetic products are part of our daily lives, so we almost never realize it, they include a wide range of products in various categories, from the shower gel used in the morning bath, to the toothpaste or the soap with we wash our hands several times a day. In the case of a large number of products available on the EU market (over a million different products), it is important to provide consumers with specific, comprehensible and reliable information based on generally accepted methods, allowing them to obtain accurate information to make the best decision, to find the ones that best suit your needs. According to EU Regulation (EC) Nº1223/2009, cosmetic products are difines as "any substance or mixture intended to be put into contact with the external parts of the human body (epidermis, hair and hair system, nails, lips and organs external genitals) or with the teeth and oral mcous membranes, exclusively or mainly, to cleanse, to perfume them, to modify their appearance, to protect them, to keep them in good condition or to correct bodily odors". In this way, the stability and microbiological tests of the products have the objective of evaluating the physical, chemical and microbiological characteristics of the raw materials, finishd products and the interaction of these with the packages, generating reliable data, with a shorter time. Therefore, the verification of the conformity of the specifications must be seen as a necessary requirement for the quality, safety and efficacy of the product and not only as a regulatory requirement.
