Cosmetics are an essential part of everyday life for women who love beauty by nature. I believe that many people have the following feelings: looking at the dazzling and beautiful displays on the counters of various brands, what kind of powder boxes, lipsticks, moisturizers, only feel dazzled, and can't wait to put everything in their sights into themselves shopping bags. But on the other hand, the security problems it brings also emerge in an endless stream. The factors affecting the safety of cosmetics are relatively complex, which are mainly reflected in the safety of cosmetic raw materials, the safety of packaging materials, the safety of the preparation process, and the compatibility between the contents and packaging materials.

Microbial contamination of cosmetic packaging containers
Why does the safety of cosmetic packaging containers have such a great impact on the safety of cosmetics? The most commonly used cosmetic packaging (indirect contact packaging containers) on the market can be roughly divided into four forms: plastic, glass, metal, and paper. As long as the container itself contains an excessive amount of toxic and harmful substances, it may be gradually released into the cosmetics that are in indirect contact with it, causing the quality of the cosmetics to change in an inappropriate direction, thus causing huge harm to the human body. This hazard is similar to the effect of food on the human body - it will be absorbed by the human body with minor consequences.

The packaging of cosmetics, such as lipstick tubes, caps, etc, are not completely cleaned and sterilized, and it is very difficult to hide microorganisms. The unmedical treatment of packaging materials (barrels, bottles, and caps) is the key reason for the microbial contamination of cosmetics. The content of cosmetics It is not uncommon for things to contaminate microorganisms due to containers and accessories. The medical environment of container manufacturers cannot guarantee the cleanliness of containers during production, storage and transportation. It needs to be cleaned and put into use again. Specific packaging disinfection is one of the measures to maintain the quality of cosmetics. Therefore, the packaging container should be cleaned and disinfected before use. Therefore, the packaging process is also an important part of the microbial contamination of cosmetics. The inner packaging of cosmetics is generally made of glass or plastic bottles, caps and inner liners, which have been slightly polluted during transportation and storage. If the cleaning and disinfection work is never done well, the cosmetics are packed in such containers, which will inevitably breed microorganisms.
