Among the products that are included in this definition are the skin moisturizers, perfumes, lipsticks, nail polish, makeup for eyes and face cleaning shampoos, permanents for hair , the dyes for hair and deodorant, as well as any substance intended for use as a component of a cosmetic product.

To regulate cosmetic products, once placed on the market, the FDA has the authority to recall the cosmetic or hygiene and personal care products that could endanger the safety of users and consumers, as well as all those who do not  comply with the EPA norms and to also require labeling of products that include ingredients that are harmful to children. This can affect the admission or withdrawal of imported products or the issuance of warnings to the managers of the company.
