Latin makeup labels put allergy sufferers at risk, say campaigners

Campaigns, makeup and skin care materials allergies to protect people who are allergic to Latin, not Latin, he says should be listed in English.

Cosmetic companies exhibit materials using Latin or scientific names. However, a violent hazelnut allergy, Deputy Becky Gitins, “less than 5% of our young people are studying in Latin” as a problem, he said.

A mother with an allergic reaction to her daughter’s body washing, said cosmetics should be labeled in the same way as food.

Make -up impressive Amy Loring said that the labeling system was “annoying”, but some of them might be “life -threatening”.

. Cosmetics, toilet and perfumery Association (CTPA) said Latin -based names provide a world -wide language.

Cosmetic Companies Materials According to the List Naming international cosmetic materials (Inci) is a system with thousands of different Latin -based names.

For example, sweet almond oil is prunus amygdalus dulcis, peanut oil mediacly hypogaea and wheat microbe extract Titikum Vulgare.

Some cosmetic brands also list their materials in English, but this is not a requirement.

Huang’s 9 -year -old daughter Elysia is allergic for cow’s milk, coconut, eggs, asparagus, mustard and tree peanuts.

Elysia’s allergies are triggered not only by food, but by particles and skin theme.

“Latin puts allergy patients at risk and very annoying,” he said.

“Why are allergens not listed thick? Why isn’t there a warning sign?”

Ms. Huang said that she had recently bought Elysia’s sensitive body washing on a new skin. Elysia turned red in seconds after entering the bathroom and developed a hive rash all over her body.

At first, they did not realize that the cause was body washing.

Elysia did not develop anaphylaxis, a severe and life -threatening allergic reaction, but it had to be treated.

“A child should not have to take medication only to take a bath. The self -cleaning process should not be sick seriously.” He said.

He said his birthday parties could be a nightmare.

“At a party, Elysia gave a facial mask in the party bag and I had to explain that you could not use Latin names until they checked whether they were safe and safe.”

“Some brands are now useful English translations. But I want to see similar to food packaging, even if there are no same standards.”

For CLWYD East behind the change campaign, Worker MP Gittins has a severe hazelnut allergy. If it were to use products containing hazelnuts, it may trigger anaphylaxis.

Gittins said he had to do crazy “Google” Latin terms to control allergens on a SPA trip.

“Even on a day that should be relaxing, I was still reducing the risk. It is incredibly difficult.” He said.

“Less than 5% of our young people are studying Latin at any level. When checking the back of a package, he knew these terms to see if they could use certain bathrooms or ointments – this becomes a big problem.”

Gittins said that his allergy lived with a “basic level of concern”.

“Do I live a very limited life, or do I go out and do things that are more risky?

“This is what we need to minimize – we have to make sure that we have much more allergy -friendly world so that we can reduce this risk.”

Amy Loring, a make -up artist from Cardiff, who uses the Instagram page to provide skin care and cosmetic advice to thousands of people, said that the labeling system should be “very clear”.

31 -year -old, “I have a hypersensitive skin and when you erupt on your face and eczema is very disturbing. Some days I can not put anything on my skin because it reacts very badly,” he said.

“Rosacea, redness, breakage reactions such as reacting as the consumer as a consumer, and this is just light allergies – quite severe and life -threatening.”

The arrangements indicate that cosmetic components should be clearly listed. If there is no outer packaging, the labeling will be on the container. If the product is too small, the materials can be listed in a brochure.

While the System system provides consistency worldwide, critics say that it has left many consumers in the dark.

Jacob, son of Rachel Williams, is allergic for peanuts, nuts and almonds.

“Latin is hard enough to walk around with allergies without adding Learning to everything Latin.” He said.

“I don’t always remember the name of certain nuts in Latin or I doubt myself when checking the products. This means that I need to search online when I use a product.

CTPA defended the use of pearl component names.

CTPA Science Director Caroline Rainsford said the system provides a universal language worldwide.

“For botanical or natural extracts, we refer to the Linnaean system, which is the international system to scientifically call plants and animals, and many of these names will be Latin -based,” he said.

“The reason we refer to this system is to have global harmony.

“Perhaps I can see that people think that it might be easier to have the name of English, but if you are on vacation and looking at the list of materials, you should know which country’s name of the plant in the country.

“If we use the System, then you just need to remember the name of a Incisan.

“With the content list, more consistency and harmony with the content list is not great for us when buying a product, but also makes life easier for companies.”

The industry has developed tools to help consumers navigate in terminology.

Such a tool is the Cosmile application that allows users to scan the label and call content names.

The application aims to provide reliable and scientifically supported information about thousands of components used in cosmetic products.

“Our arrangements require all cosmetics to include a clearly marked list of components in the packaging by using names on the product label or generally accepted names.”
