In 2012, the Federal Service of Russian Federation on Customers’ Rights Protection and Human Well-being Surveillance (“Rospotrebnadzor”) plans large-scale monitoring of all nano-cosmetic products being on sale within Russia.The anti-aging cosmetics containing nanoparticles, whose effect is being discussed and sometimes challenged, caused reasonable and close attention on the part of the above service.
Currently, 367 nano-patents are registered with over one thousand state-of-the-art cosmetics products on sale. Till now, there were no targeted clinical studies for such products in Russia. Hence, dishonest manufactures could freely and illegally tag their products with “nano” in order to push their sales up.
Tatiana Puchkova, Master of biological science, Board Chairman of Perfumery and Cosmetics Association of Russia acknowledged that some companies successfully rename their cosmetic products containing small liposomes into nano-creams. Another serious challenge - numerous fakes imported from China.
As early as in summer 2012, we can expect a new regulation for nano-cosmetics mandating laboratory attestation of such products efficiency and safety.
