At the dawn of this century, dermocosmetology is at cross-roads because new European regulations are changing its face. The proof of claims must be given and the entire composition of the product must be released. In addition, animal testing is about to be banned. Such new regulations incite to search for and validate predictive tests aiming at the objective evaluation of the activity and tolerance claimed by dermocosmetic products. Such tests must be an alternative to unnecessary animal experimentation. These aspects are scrutinized scientifically by the EEMCO experts in combination with the ECVAM and COLIPA organizations.
在本世纪初,皮肤美容学正处于十字路口,因为新的欧洲法规正在改变其面貌。必须提供宣称内容的证据,并且产品的完整成分必须公开。此外,动物试验即将被禁止。这些新法规促使人们去寻找和验证预测性测试,旨在客观评估皮肤美容产品所宣称的活性和耐受性。此类测试必须成为不必要动物实验的替代方法。EEMCO专家与ECVAM和COLIPA组织联合对这些方面进行了科学审查。
