 In 2013, all products containing manufactured nanoparticles, which are not Brys down in body tissues or in the countryside, have it printed in the TOC. More and more personal care products containing nano-particles, but the index does not reveal which. It is about to change with new EU regulations. Toothpaste, sunscreen, shampoo and makeup, more and more personal care products contain particles that are so small that they are called nanoparticles. That means they are between 1 and 100 nanometers in diameter. When the material reaches the small dimensions the often new and attractive properties that can enhance many products, The only problem is that researchers do not yet know for sure if they also have yet unknown biological effects. Today needs to manufacturers of personal care products and makeup not say whether they use nanoparticles in their products. This makes it difficult for worried consumers to opt out of them. But soon it will be tougher for manufacturers. In 2013, all products containing manufactured nanoparticles, which are not Brys down in body tissues or in the countryside, have it printed in the TOC. The word nano, then stand by topic name. - Companies that want to make use of nanomaterials in a hygiene product must also obtain the prior approval from the Scientific Committee of the EU, says Monica Tammela, head of the cosmetics and toiletries at the MPA.
