Abstract

The article analyzes the range of cosmetic products, including lipsticks. The results of a study of the saturation of the market with domestic and foreign products are presented. The requirements for the quality of lipsticks are presented. The composition of lipsticks is studied for compliance with the current legisla­tion of Ukraine. The study is based on the assumption of the feasibility of using a product evaluation of lipsticks to establish the level of safety of their composition during the tran­sitional period of the introduction of the Technical Regulations on cosmetic products. The methodological basis of the study covers general scientific techniques – from data collec­tion to their logical processing and theoretical synthesis. Graphical modeling was used to interpret and visually demonstrate dynamic changes in the analyzed indicators. It was found that all the lipstick samples tested contained components permitted by the Technical Regulations. Four dangerous and prohibited ingredients were found in the lipstick of the Patricia Ledo Classic brand, which casts doubt on the safety of the product.
