NITROSAMINES IN COSMETICS
Nitrosamines are chemical compounds classified as potential carcinogens. Nitrosamines are formed when nitrosating agents react with secondary or tertiary amines. Examples of nitrosating agents include nitrites (such as sodium nitrite) and nitrogen oxides. These compounds can be found in various environments and can react with amines from different sources. This reaction can additionally occur under specific conditions, such as high pH or elevated temperature.
TECHNOLOGISTS LACK AUTOMATION. COSMETOSAFE CONSULTING DEVELOPED A SOLUTION FOR THEM.
As many as 76% of cosmetic technologists believe that regulatory changes in the ingredient area require them to work a lot or very intensively, according to the Technologist Needs Survey report by CosmetoSAFE Consulting.

Essential Oils | Chemical-free
For years, we have been talking about the fact that “natural” isn’t equal to “safe” in chemistry and toxicology. However, to believe that some people still need illustrative examples. That’s why we’ve collected a few below.
In common opinion the synthetic fragrances are potentially dangerous, while natural essential oils don’t have such associations in our minds. Proponents of natural fragrances seems to forget what is the reason of recommendation of not using the essential oils in an undiluted/concentrated form onto the skin!
Do you remember the history of Lilial? Will other ingredients await a similar fate?
The possibility of introducing and making available cosmetics with Lilial in the European market ended on March 1, 2022. Why? Because Article 15 of the Cosmetics Regulation prohibits us from using the CMR substances (unless by way of cosmetic legislation exception, we can justify its safe use… but that didn’t happen here).
