The key differences between cosmetic ingredient toxicology data and ingredient SDS (Safety Data Sheet)

· Regulations

Cosmetic Ingredient Toxicology Data

  • Focus on the Ingredient: This data primarily concerns the toxicological characteristics of individual ingredients, such as acute toxicity, skin irritation, allergenicity, and mutagenicity.
  • Used for Risk Assessment: This information is used to evaluate the potential hazards of each ingredient in a product to ensure consumer safety.
  • Diverse Data Sources: Sources include scientific literature, databases, toxicology study reports, and data provided by raw material suppliers.
  • Part of the Product Information File (PIF): Toxicology data is a crucial component of the PIF, used to demonstrate the product's safety.

Ingredient SDS (Safety Data Sheet

)

  • Broader Information Coverage: SDS includes information on the physical and chemical properties of the ingredient, hazard identification, first aid measures, fire-fighting measures, accidental release measures, handling and storage, exposure controls/personal protection, physical and chemical properties, stability and reactivity, toxicological information, ecological information, disposal considerations, transport information, and regulatory information.
  • For Chemical Users: SDS is primarily aimed at informing chemical users about the safe handling and usage of the ingredient, including storage, transportation, and emergency response measures.
  • Provided by Raw Material Suppliers: Typically supplied by raw material suppliers and delivered to downstream users along with the product.
  • Regulatory Compliance: The format and content of the SDS are strictly regulated to ensure completeness and accuracy of the information.
