Apesar de não ser desejável, os produtos cosméticos podem ocasionar alguns efeitos adversos ao usuário. Tais efeitos podem ser decorrentes de fatores individuais como também pelo uso inadequado. Logo, a avaliação de segurança deve preceder a colocação do produto cosmético no mercado. Uma vez que o produto cosmético é de livre acesso ao consumidor, o mesmo deve ser seguro nas condições normais ou razoavelmente previsíveis de uso. Historicamente, os testes de avaliação de segurança eram realizados com animais (in vivo); porém, atualmente, alguns centros de pesquisa estão adotando novas alternativas (in vitro) que visam a substituição dos testes com animais. Este artigo enfatiza a necessidade de realização de ensaios de toxicidade para produtos de higiene pessoal, cosméticos e perfumes, bem como apresenta os testes in vivo e in vitro utilizados abordando a necessidade de se aplicar métodos alternativos aos ensaios in vitro na avaliação de segurança dos mesmos.
Although not desirable, cosmetic products can cause some adverse effects in the user. Such effects can be due both to individual factors and by inadequate use. So, the safety evaluation must precede the placement of the cosmetic product in the market. Once the consumer has free access to cosmetic product, it must be safe in normal conditions or reasonably previsible of use. Historically the evaluation tests were accomplished with animals (in vivo) but, at the moment, some research centers have been adopting new alternatives (in vitro) in order to replace the tests with animals. This article emphasizes the necessity of accomplishing toxicity assays for personal hygiene products, cosmetics and perfumes, an also presents the tests in vivo and in vitro used, approaching the necessity of alternative methods to the assays in vitro in the evaluation of security of them.
