United States federal regulations require ingredient listing on cosmetics labeled after November 30, 1976. Standardized ingredient nomenclature from a reference text will be utilized to minimize confusion which might arise if various synonyms for chemical names were used. This new information on cosmetics labeling will assist physicians in the diagnosis of cosmetic-related dermatoses. It should facilitate the patch testing procedure by enabling the dermatologist to focus attention on suspect ingredients early in the evaluation. Once the identify of offending ingredients in a cosmetic has been determined for a particular patient, the individual will have the opportunity to avoid those ingredients and related ingredients in future purchases of cosmetics.
美国联邦法规要求在1976年11月30日之后标注的化妆品上列出成分。将使用参考文本中的标准化成分命名法，以尽量减少因使用化学名称的各种同义词而可能产生的混淆。化妆品标签上的这一新信息将有助于医生诊断与化妆品相关的皮肤病。它应能使皮肤科医生在评估早期就将注意力集中在可疑成分上，从而便于进行斑贴试验。一旦确定了某一特定患者化妆品中的有害成分，该患者今后购买化妆品时将有机会避开这些成分及相关成分。
