Follow on Google News | New Technical Regulation for Cosmetics Approved in Brazil - RDC Nº 15/2013The new Technical Regulation that establishes a “List of Substances for Cosmetic Use: Lead Acetate, Pyrogallol, Formaldehyde and Paraformaldehyde” was approved on the 26th of March, 2013.
Pyrogallol, used as a dye for hair oxidation, is included in the restricted substance list as is already the case in the EU since 1976. The use of pyrogallol is allowed within the optimal concentration (the maximum concentration of 5% in hair dyes), however the label on the packaging of products containing pyrogallol in its formulation must include a warning indicating the presence of this component and restrictions on use. The use of Formaldehyde and Paraformaldehyde as preservatives was already forbidden in aerosols. The maximum allowed concentration is now 0,1% for hygienic products; 0,2% for other products and 5% for formaldehyde in nail hardeners. The RDC no. 15/2013 approves Lead Acetate in hair dye with a maximum concentration of 0,6% (calculated as lead) A comparison between the previous legislation and the new regulations is summarized in a tablewithin the latest SGS SafeGuards bulletin (http://newsletter.sgs.com/ About SGS Cosmetics Services It is crucial for all cosmetic, personal care and household products to be safe effective and stable.
