Recently, semi-permanent eyebrow tattooing is really a little bit of fire, but we went to the field to study a little bit and found that the water inside is a little bit deep.
Tattooed eyebrows partners understand that eyebrow tattooing is a special tool to pierce the skin, injecting the color pigment into the skin between the epidermis and the dermis, so that the dye resides in the skin for as long as possible.
Because it's a skin-breaking procedure, the coloring will remain in the skin for a long time, making safety especially important.
Eyebrow tattooing has been around for decades. However, at that time, the eyebrow tattoo coloring material is not qualified, the heavy metal content is relatively high, but also easy to fade into red, blue with the passage of time.
For example, some people tattooed out of the eyebrows are so Auntie:
Later, the problem of fading is somewhat alleviated, but the safety issue still exists. CCTV has reported on the news that the heavy metal content of eyebrow tattoo pigments exceeds the standard.
There have been cases in which the dye was inferior, resulting in long-lasting wounds. We'll leave the pictures alone because they're too gory.
I've heard that technology has advanced and eyebrow tattoo colors are no longer easily discolored. There are also businesses that have developed some plant-based dyes that will be a little safer in terms of ingredients.
So we bought 6 best-selling eyebrow tattoo colors to test their safety. The specific product information is as follows:
The test fee is 9600 RMB + sample fee 1422 RMB = 11022 RMB
After the actual test results came out, we were a bit shocked. We didn't realize that the water in the eyebrow tattoo industry is really a bit deep.
This time we mainly test the heavy metal (lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, chromium, nickel, hexavalent chromium) content in the pigment.
We tested for lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic in cosmetics according to the requirements of the Technical Code for Cosmetic Safety (2015 edition).
The actual results are as follows:
Lead and arsenic were detected in all 6 samples, and mercury and cadmium were not detected. Among them, the arsenic content of samples No. 1 and No. 5 exceeded the limit.
The "arsenic and inorganic arsenic compounds" have long been classified by the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as a class of carcinogens.
Regarding the chromium and nickel content in cosmetics, there is no standard limit in China, we refer to the views of various countries on the detection of chromium and nickel in cosmetics, to make an inference:
The results of the actual results are as follows:
Comparison of the following:
Comparison of the following, 1, 3, 5 samples of chromium, nickel content at the same time a little on the high side, it is necessary to pay attention to
We have a lot of questions about the content of chromium and nickel.
We consulted with a senior practitioner in the medical aesthetic industry, who believes that:
But even if we look at the standard of cosmetics, the six eyebrow tattoos we purchased have lead, arsenic, chromium, and nickel, and even two of the arsenic levels exceeded the limit.
Would it be possible that the eyebrow tattoo liquid sold online is unreliable, the entity store with more formal?
We consulted with embroidery practitioners around us and learned that some of the eyebrow tattooing products used in brick-and-mortar stores basically come from online purchases.
We also went to a chain of more than 100 stores in the country to visit the agency, and learned that the use of eyebrow tattoo dye is the headquarters of the unified procurement, the staff do not know the specific channels.
However, "stores have more than 1,000 eyebrow tattoo project, there are more than 8,000 eyebrow tattoo project", "different price with the color pigment, the composition will certainly be different".
From our survey, eyebrow tattooing organizations generally do not disclose which brand of pigment they use, the most is to add a botanical, imported from Germany, imported from South Korea and other such adjectives.
As for the quality of the products that consumers use, you may have to rely on luck.
As we mentioned at the beginning, the process of eyebrow tattooing requires needling, which is a traumatic skin-breaking project. It stands to reason that such skin-breaking items should be as strictly regulated as medical aesthetics.
We found the Measures for the Administration of Medical Beauty Services, and the eyebrow tattoo project is more in line with its provisions:
In this regard, there are experts and scholars who have expressed the corresponding views:
However, most of the people who are engaged in eyebrow tattooing are street beauty stores, such as beauty agencies, shampoo stores, nail salons, etc. These shops are not the only ones that can help you with the tattooing of your eyebrows.
These stores belong to the life beauty, according to the Ministry of Commerce, they can only provide consumers with the human body surface non-invasive, non-invasive make-up modification and other services.
From this point of view, the embroidery industry, is really a bit screwed up.
More than that, the situation of tattooing using products is also a bit awkward.
We all know, engaged in medical cosmetic services, whether it is the use of products, practitioners qualifications, the use of equipment, service venues planning and so on will have strict requirements.
With reference to the Food and Drug Administration issued the "Rules for the Classification of Medical Devices", eyebrow tattooing with the use of instruments because of the need to invade the skin, should be judged to be in contact with the human body of the Class I medical device .
As for the eyebrow tattoo embroidery liquid products, the need to invade the skin tissue, obviously not under the category of cosmetics, the production license is not as simple as makeup. Correspondingly, its product requirements should be more stringent.
In fact, we bought six eyebrow tattoo colors, in addition to a whole body printed in English, through the pinyin found written 粤妆号(yuezhuanghao)/> , the remaining five without exception are makeup products.
Some of them implement skincare lotion standards, some implement cosmetic water standards.
Even by cosmetic standards, there were two products that exceeded the limit for arsenic, and a number of products that had high levels of chromium and nickel, not to mention the fact that they're products that need to be pierced into the skin tissue.
We are also here to appeal to the industry gods, if there is understanding, welcome to exchange to explore tattoo tattoo embroidery liquid specific to which category of products.
1. Try to choose a well-known eyebrow tattooing organization, not a small store on the street. Dad Review suggests that you can give priority to organizations with medical qualifications.
2. Ask the organization for some previous cases of eyebrow tattooing to avoid the failure of seaweed eyebrows.
3. Before the formal eyebrow tattoo, fully understand the qualification of the business, to see whether the business license business scope of embroidery this item.
4. Observe whether the tattoo tools used by the business are disposable, and whether the package is labeled with the name of the machine. After all, it is a skin-breaking project, and this point must be taken seriously.
The love of all people.
Tattooing this project, from more than a decade ago all the way to the present, enough to see how strong the demand is.
Dad's review hopes that people will take the risks behind these semi-permanent projects seriously, and be careful before seeking beauty.
It is also hoped that these programs will become more transparent and open to the public, and that only programs that are built on safety and health will be able to go the distance.
