Apstrakt

Ovaj rad analizira regulatorne aspekte bezbednosti kozmetičkih proizvoda, sa fokusom na međunarodne, evropske i nacionalne pravne okvire, praktičnu primenu regulativa i aktuelne trendove u industriji. Kozmetički proizvodi, uključujući preparate za negu kože, kose i noktiju, kao i mirise, moraju biti bezbedni zbog direktnog uticaja na zdravlje potrošača. Rad ispituje definiciju i klasifikaciju kozmetike u odnosu na lekove i biocidne proizvode, kao i inovacije poput prirodnih formulacija, nanomaterijala i personalizovanih kozmetičkih proizvoda, koje dodatno komplikuju regulatorni okvir. Regulatorni sistemi obuhvataju međunarodne smernice, evropsku regulativu (EC) 1223/2009 i nacionalno zakonodavstvo Srbije. Poseban značaj daje se proceni bezbednosti proizvoda, pripremi dosijea sa informacijama o proizvodu (Product Information File – PIF), primeni Dobre proizvođačke prakse (DPP), kontroli sastojaka i nanomaterijala, označavanju i oglašavanju, kao i kozmetovigilanci i nadzoru na tržištu radi pravovremenog reagovanja na neželjene efekte. U praksi, izazovi uključuju neadekvatno označavanje, prisustvo neregistrovanih proizvoda na tržištu, složene prekogranične lance snabdevanja, prodaju putem interneta, upotrebu nanomaterijala i nedovoljno razvijen sistem kozmetovigilance. Preporuke uključuju jačanje kozmetovigilance, edukaciju proizvođača, uvoznika i potrošača, pojačanu kontrolu onlajn tržišta, prilagođavanje regulative tehnološkim inovacijama i unapređenje međunarodne saradnje. efikasna zaštita potrošača zahteva integraciju stroge regulative, odgovorno postupanje svih aktera, kontinuirani nadzor tržišta i korišćenje digitalnih alata za standardizovano praćenje neželjenih efekata, čime se poboljšava bezbednost proizvoda, transparentnost i poverenje potrošača na tržištu kozmetičkih proizvoda.
