The US’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is aiming to conduct a national web-based consumer survey about allergens in cosmetics.
“Gathering information about consumer experiences with cosmetic products, especially adverse reactions such as irritated skin or an allergic reaction, is critical to the FDA’s ability to effectively conduct surveillance and oversight of these products in the US marketplace,” said FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb.
The FDA conducted a similar survey in 1975, the organisation told Cosmetics Business News.
