What Can Make Makeup Unsafe?
Cosmetics are generally formulated to be safe for their intended use. However, safety can be compromised by how products are stored, used, and maintained.
Contamination
Bacteria and fungi can enter products through unwashed hands, dirty brushes, or direct contact with the skin, especially in damp environments.
Storage & Degradation
Excessive heat, direct sunlight, and humidity can break down preservatives and active ingredients, altering the stability of the formula.
Application Habits
Sharing cosmetics, using products past their intended shelf life, or applying makeup over broken or irritated skin can increase the risk of adverse reactions.
