Cosmetics, essential oils and cleaning products

A cosmetic product designates a substance or mixture intended to be brought into contact with the superficial parts of the human body (epidermis, hair or capillary system, nails, lips and external genitalia, but also the teeth and the oral system with a view, exclusively, to cleaning, perfuming, modifying the appearance, protecting, maintaining in good condition or correcting body odours.

Un produit cosmétique doit répondre à certaines règles afin de ne pas nuire à la santé des consommateurs dans des conditions normales d’utilisation et l’analyse de la composition est l’une des premiers points concernés par ces précautions.
