Beauty on the Safe Side
From the FDA office of cosmetics
Serious injury from makeup is a rare occurrence, according to John Bailey, director of FDA's
Office of Cosmetics and Colors. But it does happen. Good common sense and a few precautions
can help consumers protect themselves against hazards associated with the misuse of cosmetics.
Never drive and apply makeup. Not only does it make for dangerous driving, but hitting a
bump in the road and scratching your eyeball can cause bacteria to contaminate the cut and
could result in serious injury, including blindness.
Never share makeup. Always use a new disposable applicator when sampling products at a
cosmetics counter. Insist that salespersons clean container openings with alcohol before
applying their contents to your skin.
Never add liquid to a product to bring back its original consistency. Adding other liquids
could introduce bacteria that can easily grow out of control.
Stop using any product that causes an allergic reaction.
Throw away makeup if the color changes or an odor develops. Preservatives degrade over
time and may no longer be able to fight bacteria.
Do not use eye makeup if you have an eye infection. Throw away all products you were
using when you discovered the infection.
Keep makeup out of sunlight. Light and heat can degrade preservatives.
Keep makeup containers tightly closed when not in use.
Never use aerosol beauty products near heat or while smoking because they can ignite.
Hairsprays and powders may cause lung damage if inhaled regularly.
You should report cosmetic adverse reactions by calling your local FDA office, listed in
the Blue Pages of the telephone book, or FDA's Office of Consumer Affairs at 1-800-532-4440.
More information on cosmetics is available by calling the Office of Cosmetics and Colors'
automated information line at 1-800-270-8869. Look beautiful; safely.
