1. Why should cosmetics be destroyed?
Cosmetics destruction refers to the destruction of substandard, expired, counterfeit and shoddy cosmetics to prevent them from re-entering the market or causing pollution to the environment. There are many reasons for the destruction of cosmetics, mainly including the following:
1.Protection of consumer rights: Substandard, expired or counterfeit cosmetics may cause harm to the health of consumers, so destruction is an important means to protect consumer rights and interests.
2.Maintain market order: The inflow of counterfeit and shoddy cosmetics into the market will disrupt the market order and infringe on the legitimate rights and interests of regular brands, and the destruction can curb this unfair competition.
3.Environmental protection requirements: Expired cosmetics are easy to deteriorate, produce harmful substances, and cause pollution to the environment. Destruction is one of the important measures to reduce environmental pollution.
4.Avoid secondary circulation: The recirculation of unqualified or expired cosmetics may cause various problems, such as allergies, infections, etc., so destruction is a necessary means to avoid secondary circulation.
2. Safety and quality testing methods for cosmetics destruction.
In order to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the cosmetic destruction process, scientific and accurate quality testing methods are required. The following are some commonly used methods for testing the safety and quality of cosmetic destruction:
1.Visual inspection: By observing the appearance of cosmetics, such as color, smell, texture, etc., to preliminarily judge whether they meet quality standards.
2.Microbiological testing: By testing the number and type of microorganisms in a cosmetic product, it is possible to determine whether it meets hygienic standards and whether there is a risk of microbial contamination.
3.Chemical analysis: qualitative or quantitative analysis of chemical ingredients in cosmetics to determine whether their ingredients comply with regulations and the presence of harmful substances.
4.Stability test: By observing the stability of cosmetics under different environmental conditions, we can judge whether they are suitable for storage and transportation.
5.Irritation test: Through animal or human trials, test the irritation or allergic reaction of cosmetics to ** to evaluate its safety.
6.Ultraviolet absorber detection: Ultraviolet absorber is a commonly used ingredient in cosmetics, and the sunscreen effect of cosmetics is judged by testing its content.
7.Heavy metal testing: Heavy metals such as lead, mercury, arsenic, etc. in cosmetics are tested to evaluate their safety.
8.Packaging material testing: Inspect the packaging materials of cosmetics, such as sealing, barrier, printing quality, etc., to ensure that they meet quality standards.
To sum up, the destruction of cosmetics is one of the important measures to protect the rights and interests of consumers, maintain market order, and reduce environmental pollution. In the destruction process, the use of scientific and accurate quality inspection methods can ensure the safety and effectiveness of the destruction process. At the same time, strengthening the supervision of the production, sales and use of cosmetics and improving consumers' safety awareness are also important measures to reduce the safety of cosmetics.
