[BPFK] CGMP ; GMP for Cosmetics?
CGMP or as known ISO 22716 as Good Manufacturing Practice for Cosmetic regulations enforced by ISO who is an independent, non-governmental international organization with a membership of 163 national standards bodies.
Through its members, it brings together experts to share knowledge and develop voluntary, consensus-based, market relevant International Standards that support innovation and provide solutions to global challenges.
It was founded with the idea of answering a fundamental question: “what's the best way of doing this?”
ISO 22716 provides a comprehensive approach for a quality management system for those engaged in the manufacturing, packaging, testing, storage, and transportation of cosmetic finished products. The standard has its basis in other quality management systems, ensuring a smooth integration with those quality management systems such as ISO 9001 or the British Retail Consortium (BRC) standard for consumer products.
The beauty and simplicity of ISO 22716 is that it combines the benefits of GMP, linking cosmetic product safety with overall business improvement tools that enable organisations to meet global consumer demand for cosmetic product safety certification.
Consumers are becoming more and more concerned about the safety of the cosmetic products they are using. Fears of allergies and dermatitis caused by tainted or poisoned cosmetics have been ever-present in recent years.
Certain ingredients used in cosmetics, such as fragrances and preservatives, can trigger an allergic reaction. Obviously, these ingredients play a pivotal role in the cosmetic products of our choice and correct dosing of these substances therefore is of key importance to avoid irritation of the skin through over-exposure.
Over-exposure to preservatives has frequently been observed in historic cases, one example being beauty creams that contained mercury. Beauty creams occasionally were reported to contain excess amounts of mercury, with poisoned consumers exhibiting clear toxic neurological symptoms.
Incidents such as this have always impacted the public and therefore have forced regulators to take action to ensure consumer safety. Examples of these are the requirements manufacturers have to adhere to in terms of pre-defined and approved product specifications and by putting systematic guidance on the organisation of the manufacturing and distribution supply chains.
