One of the documentation required for registration/notification of cosmetics in Brazil is the presentation of the label of packages and brochures of instruction. In Brazil, mandatory requirements for the labeling of cosmetics are found in RDC no. 211/2005. This object of this paper was to detect main deviations labelling of cosmetics products. We performed a retrospective review of cases filed in National Institute for Quality Control in Health regarding the analyses of cosmetics carried out in the period from January 2005 to December 2009, resulting from requests for analyzes: fiscal, guidance and special. This evaluation was performed in 120 of 133 samples which were received regarding this analysis, being obtained only 7 (6%) satisfactory results. Of the 79 pro-ducts analyzed as Level Risk 2, 75 were disapproved. Deviations labeling of cosmetics products found in this study are corroborated with scientific literature. Classification of Risk 2 is given to products that bring with them an inherent risk, so the discrepancies can put the consumer exposed to products possibly disqualified.Downloads
