Cosmetics may have simplified regularization

In the next few days, the Anvisa shall publish in your portal a public consultation (CP) which proposes to change the way they are regulated at the Agency the toiletries, cosmetics and perfumes. The CP will propose changes in children's cosmetics and fitness of categories "sunscreen", Straighteners and hair dyes. At Tuesday's public meeting (13/3), the Board of Anvisa approved the proposal to public consultation by the Chief Executive Officer, Jarbas Barbosa, who is the rapporteur. The text of the CP shall be published in the Official Gazette (GIVE) and on the website of the Agency. The text of the children's public consultation proposes to amend the DRC 7/2015, which deals with the control scheme pre market for children's products, for them to be exempted from health record. These products will be exempt from registration and information about them will appear in a specific system of the Agency to the HPPC, which is an acronym used in the technical area for toiletries, Perfumes and cosmetics. Another point is to delete the category "blockers" of the guards against solar radiation, since the term generates the feeling that there would be to "block" the entire skin. The term "sunblock" is not allowed since the publication of the DRC 30/2012. Products for straightening and/or dye her hair another issue that will be addressed in this public consultation is to separate into different categories the products that change the texture of the hair straighteners, those that change the color of the wires, the tinctures. Only the Straighteners will follow subject to registration. The DRC is scheduled to 7/2015 category "temporary hair dye/progressive/permanent, free, registry and the category" products for straightening and/or dye their hair ", subject to registration. The latter raises doubts about the form of regularization of hair dyes. Thus, the public consultation suggests changing the text to "product to straighten your hair" and "product for straightening and dyeing their hair", to be clear that hair dyes are exempt from registration. The historical exemption of registration of toiletries, cosmetics and perfumes in Anvisa has as starting point the DRC 335/1999 ranked the products in risk classes I and II, respectively of lower and higher risk, getting the products of risk class I exempt from registration. The tendency to hold record lasted until the publication of the DRC 7/2015, who dismissed the mandatory 40 record risk class II products, keeping as subjects to the registry only infant products, sunscreens, insect repellents, products for straightening and dyeing their hair and antiseptic gel for their hands. "The HPPC products are considered low risk in all over the world," said the rapporteur Jarbas Barbosa. "In countries like Canada, United States, Europe and Japan, these products are exempted from registration, including the child use cosmetics". The comparison between the Brazilian model of regulation of cosmetics with the model of these countries does not apply to insect repellents and sunscreens, as explained when submitting your vote Jarbas Barbosa, because these countries are not classified as cosmetics.
