The property of cosmetics is that the effects/effects are not permanent and need to be used regularly to maintain the effect. Some common words and phrases are not accepted in the announcement of cosmetic features according to each product type. However, this list is not considered to be an exhaustive list, the final decision remains with the governing body.
A cosmetic product is a substance or preparation intended for use in contact with the external parts of the human body (skin, hair system, fingernails, toenails, lips and external genitalia) or teeth and oral mucosa whose main purpose is to clean, scent, change appearance, form, regulate body odor, protect the body or keep the body in good condition.
The property of cosmetics is that they produce non-permanent effects/effects and regular use is required to maintain the effect. Products that permanently correct, restore or alter body functions by immunological, metabolic or pharmacological mechanisms are not classified as cosmetics. Products that are administered orally, injected or come into contact with other parts of the body (for example: mucous membranes of the nasal passages, internal genitals, etc.) are not classified as cosmetics.
The use of words to advertise the features of cosmetic products must meet the ASEAN Guidelines on declaring the features of cosmetic products.
When choosing sentences/words in cosmetic advertising, businesses should note:
