Bad reaction to a cosmetic? FDA needs to know
What do you do if you have a reaction after using a cosmetic product? First, stop using the product and contact your healthcare provider. Next, please report it to FDA.
Here’s why that next step is so important: Cosmetic products aren’t required by law to have FDA approval before they go on the market. Companies that market cosmetics have a legal responsibility to ensure product safety, but FDA can only take action if the product is shown to be unsafe after the product is on the market.
And, because the law doesn’t require cosmetic companies to share customer complaints or other safety information with FDA, voluntary reports from consumers and healthcare providers are one of the best ways for FDA to learn about any problems.
Cosmetics include a range of products people use every day, such as moisturizers, makeup, shampoos and conditioners, face and body washes, deodorants, nail care products, hair dyes and relaxers, and tattoos. More information
