Limiting quantities of ‘Chemicals of concern’ in beauty products

Cosmetic products contain specific substances within acceptable ranges, each serving a distinct purpose. Certain substances are prohibited or restricted in various regions due to the health concerns they may pose. These restrictions and standards are drafted and managed by multiple international regulators like FDA, EU etc. across different regions. Cosmetics and personal care industries should track and detect the prohibited and restricted substances while creating formulas.
 
Plevenn’s cloud PLM application allows the users to capture the substances and their allowed values and prohibited substances based on the regulations. Formulators can track and trace use of if ingredients composition exceeds specified substances beyond their limits or when prohibited substances are included into the formula.
Safety assessment of beauty product ingredients

Products from the cosmetics and personal care industries must undergo comprehensive safety evaluations before they are released to the market. The safety assessment of a product depends significantly on the properties of its ingredients, which must be carefully selected.
 
Using Plevenn's cloud PLM application, formulators can define new properties, such as the threshold of toxicological concern and dermal absorption/penetration, etc. which are necessary for safety assessments. It assists in establishing threshold values for these properties in a formula. During formulation, if any property exceeds the threshold values when ingredients are added, the system alerts users, displaying details of the specific property that does not meet the threshold value.
