APPENDIX I ∗

ILLUSTRATIVE LIST OF COSMETIC PRODUCTS BY CATEGORIES

I. BACKGROUND

The definition of a cosmetic product which has been adopted by the ACCSQ Product
Working Group on Cosmetics is that of the European Directive. In order to understand
the thought processes behind the words it does help to look at the way that the original
1976 definition was modified in 1993.

Original : Any substance or preparation intended for placing in contact with the
external parts of the human body ... or with the teeth and mucous
membranes of the oral cavity with a view exclusively or principally to
1 2 3
cleaning them , perfuming them or protect them in order to keep them
in good condition change their appearance or correct body odour6
4 5

Current : Any substance or preparation intended to be placed in contact with the


external parts of the human body... or with the teeth and the mucous
membranes of the oral cavity with a view exclusively or mainly for
cleaning them7, perfuming them8, changing their appearance9, and/or
correcting body odours10 and/or protecting11 or keeping them in good
condition12

By removing the words "in order to” and replacing the three functions (1-3) and three
objectives (4-6) by six individual purposes (7-12) the 1993 definition removes several
legal anomalies including the one that effectively excluded all decorative products from
being cosmetics.

It should be noted that while the phrase "exclusively or principally" has been changed to
"exclusively or mainly" reinforces the fact that the regulators recognise that cosmetic
products may have functions other than six individually listed.
