ISO 22716 Cosmetic Quality Management System

According to the archaeological findings, cosmetic products were used in ancient Egypt even in 4000 BC. It is seen that these products were also used in ancient Greek and Roman periods. In fact, mercury and lead were used for the sake of flourishing because the toxic effects were not known at that time. In ancient Egypt, often used to paint under the eye rastik, copper, lead and wood is produced from substances such as heat. In the Bible it is written that the essence of a tree (boswellia) and a coffee variety (myrrh) are used as perfume. People in the ancient city of Ephesus, aromatic scented oil bags with them.

It is known that African Indians use henna and rasta, and American Indians paint their faces and bodies using plant dyes and soot. In the Middle East, it is known that only Persians (former Iranians) use cosmetic products. Arab tribes did not use cosmetic products due to the influence of religion. Muslims started to use cosmetic products much later. An Arab scientist (Abu al-Qasim al-Zahravi), who lived in the 900 years, wrote a 30 volume medical book and devoted one volume of it to cosmetic products only. In this work, which was later translated into Latin, cosmetic was accepted as a branch of medicine and cosmetic beauty medicine was expressed.

As for medieval Europe. In the period until the Renaissance, the people became brown because they were generally working in agriculture, while the nobility remained white. Therefore, the skin color of people showed whether they were noble or not. The nobles used white lead with powder or arsenic mixture to make their skin look whiter. The face of Queen Elizabeth I, who embellished her face with white bullets, has gone down in history as a youth mask.

Anatolia was found on the silk road for centuries. Therefore, what has been done in the world has come to Anatolia. For example, henna was used to dye hands and feet, and clay was used to strengthen and change the color of the hair.

With the beginning of the twentieth century, make-up has become fashionable especially in Europe and America. It is seen that the performing arts such as opera, ballet, theater and musical are very effective. However, the real acceleration of cosmetic use is with the cinema sector that emerged in Hollywood. Today's major cosmetic companies were established during this period.

The first deodorants were used in 1888, the first synthetic hair dye in 1907, the new generation red lipsticks and nail polishes in 1920, and the first sunscreen cream in 1936.

With the years of 1990, anti-aging cosmetic products based on scientific data, products containing natural ingredients, cosmetics that do not harm nature, organic hair dyes, shampoos without harmful substances and special cosmetics for men and children started to be produced.

The demand for cosmetic products is increasing day by day. As such, counterfeit goods or products made using poor quality materials are marketed. For this reason, people should act consciously and pay attention to the content of the products they take in order to avoid any damage to cosmetic products.

The size of the world cosmetics market is estimated at $ 250 billion. In our country, only 2 is around USD billion. Moreover, 80 is under the control of foreign brands. European countries spend 150 Dollars per person in cosmetics, and our country is 30 Dollars. However, as Europe ages, the young population is growing in our country. Therefore, per capita cosmetic expenditure is expected to increase in our country.

Legal Regulations Regarding Cosmetic Products

In the 2005, the Law on Cosmetics was aimed at the following objectives:

  • Safe, effective and quality production of cosmetic products for people
  • Notification before the launch of cosmetic products
  • Supervision and inspection of cosmetic products on the market
  • Inspection of production sites of cosmetic products

The objectives of the Cosmetic Regulation issued by the Ministry of Health on the basis of this law are explained as follows:

  • Production of cosmetic products in a way that does not cause human error and does not harm human health
  • Presenting cosmetic products to consumers with accurate and comprehensible information
  • Determination of the technical characteristics of cosmetic products, packaging information, various notifications, placing on the market, conducting market surveillance and inspections, inspection of production sites and procedures and principles of the measures to be taken

This regulation was based on Council Directive 76 / 768 / EEC and Commission Decision 96 / 335 / EC issued by the European Union on cosmetic products.

ISO 22716 Cosmetic Good Manufacturing Practice System

To meet the needs of the cosmetics industry in 2007 by the International Standards Organization and to be used by the cosmetics industry ISO 22716 Cosmetics Good Manufacturing Practice System has been published.

Because cosmetic products directly affect human health, these products must be produced under reliable conditions and in accordance with established standards.

Prior to the ISO 22716 standard, GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) was a guideline describing the required production conditions for not only cosmetics but also pharmaceuticals, food, medical devices and similar products. The purpose of this standard is to ensure the production of effective and reliable products. While developing the ISO 22716 standard, the focus is on GMP standards.

ISO 22716 Cosmetic Good Manufacturing Practices System brings a quality system approach in the production of all kinds of cosmetic products, from raw material procurement to testing and packaging of products.

Is it necessary to obtain ISO 22716 Certificate?

Since the 1976 in the European Union, a number of restrictive and directive directives have been enacted on the production and use of cosmetic products. These regulations are not only related to the production activities of cosmetic products. The labeling of cosmetic products is also relevant to the information provided by the manufacturers and to the explanations made on the way it is used. Under normal conditions, cosmetic products should not harm human health when used. The ISO 22716 standard covers the same principles. When cosmetic manufacturers establish ISO 22716 standard in their enterprises and start to produce in accordance with this standard, they can apply to a certification institution and obtain ISO 22716 Cosmetic Good Manufacturing Practices System Certificate. Although it is not a necessity to get this certificate, there will be many gains to be achieved by the firm in this way. For example,

  • The company will gain competitiveness in national and international markets.
  • The image and reputation of the company in the market will increase.
  • Companies will be prepared for the inspections of the Ministry of Health in this way as necessary legal regulations will be followed.
  • Employees' motivation will increase, this will increase production quality and reduce costs.

ISO 22716 standard is not limited to production activities. This standard also ensures consumer safety, as it also includes auditing, storage and shipping.

What are the principles of ISO 22716 Cosmetic Good Manufacturing Practices System?

Now it is a necessity to produce cosmetic products offered to customers not only in European Union countries but also all over the world according to ISO 22716 standards. The ISO 22716 standard is as important as the harmful substances in its formula in terms of labeling the products and providing them to customers more extensively.

In this regard, the first principle of ISO 22716 Cosmetic Good Manufacturing Practices System is to inspire confidence in the users of these products. Producers applying this standard eliminate the hesitations of customers and create a sense of trust.

The second principle of the standard is to make a difference in manufacturing companies. In this way, a significant competitive advantage is obtained.

Finally, the third principle of the standard is to raise the quality standard of the company.
