This study systematically reviewed cosmetic usage patterns and survey methods across regions, revealing significant differences. Findings provide crucial data for accurate cosmetic ingredient risk assessments and future research.
Area of Science:
- Cosmetic Science
- Risk Assessment
- Public Health
Background:
- Reliable exposure data is crucial for cosmetic ingredient risk assessments.
- Cosmetic usage patterns vary significantly by region and population.
- Comprehensive data is needed to accurately assess cosmetic ingredient exposure levels.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review cosmetic usage patterns and survey methodologies.
- To compare cosmetic usage across different global regions.
- To obtain accurate exposure parameters for cosmetic product risk assessment.
Main Methods:
- Systematic review following PRISMA guidelines.
- Searched PubMed and CNKI databases (2005-2025).
- Extracted data from 38 relevant publications on study characteristics, population, data collection, and exposure parameters.
Main Results:
- Analyzed cosmetic usage surveys from the EU, US, and Asian countries.
- Identified differences in cosmetic usage patterns across regions.
- Summarized qualitative (product type, usage) and quantitative (user percentage, frequency, amount) data collection methods.
Conclusions:
- Findings offer a valuable reference for future cosmetic usage investigations.
- Provides a model for assessing population exposure to cosmetic ingredients.
- Highlights the need for region-specific cosmetic exposure data.
