Cameleon U.V.-Neon Statement
Statement from Cameleon
Ref...U.V.-Neon
According to the FDA, cosmetics are "articles intended to be rubbed, poured, sprinkled, or sprayed on, introduced into, or otherwise applied to the human body...for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering the appearance" [FD&C Act, sec. 201(i)].
The fact that the FDA hasn’t tested the pigments yet doesn’t mean that they are in any ways dangerous to the skin. It just means that the FDA hasn’t looked into their safety yet
The EU has what is call an Anex IV list which lists every pigment allowed to be used on cosmetics.
The EU have Anex II and III for banned pigments and pigments with restrictions. The one for cosmetics, are the one that matters is Anex IV.
If a pigment not listed there then it can not be used for the production of cosmetics.
The Pigments in Cameleon UV paints are:
D&C Orange No. 5,
No. 10, and No. 11;
D&C Red No. 21, No. 22, No. 27 and No. 28;
D&C Yellow No. 7.
These pigments can be mixed with regular non UV pigments to obtain other colours.
(there you get your colour mix standards, such as white and red, can mix to pink, red and blue can be mixed to purple etc...base colour knowlege)
The same way our NON uv colours are bright, without UV, our neons are bright because of the clever use of mixing.
The FDA has a good information: https://www.fda.gov/cosmetics/cosmetic-products/novelty-makeup
All products from Cameleon are registered at the EU according to the ingredients.
Additional Information.
UV-Neon colours that have that notice on their description and-or name indicate that they are NOT considered a cosmetic product within the USA and Europe.
These Cameleon UV-Neon products have yet to be tested by the USA FDA for cosmetic safety so manufacturers have labeled them and sell them as a Special FX product to be used on clothing, over prosthetics, etc. to create a black light glow effect.
Any Neon-UV paint without that warning has been determined to be cosmetic compliant by the manufacturer.
Magic Box not responsible for manufacturer's claims or label's compliance, but we do our best to make sure that the label information provided to us is available on our website as well. If you have questions please contact the manufacturer directly.
Cameleon UV Neon Pink, Orange and Yellow colors are dayglo and they appear very bold under regular light as well as black light. Neon colours are a little more transparent under regular light and may need a heavier application to get an opaque coverage. For black light use, only a thin layer is needed to pop.
All Cameleon neon colors are hypoallergenic.
According to the Cameleon they have been independently tested and determined safe for cosmetic use by independent labs and by other government agencies in different countries. Following the regulator’s guidelines, they are labeled as a Special FX Product - Prosthetic Paint (for professional use only) - Not a cosmetic Product Apply product to prosthetic appliances, bald caps, clothing, etc. This applies ONLY to the UV/Neon pigments in this product and not to the rest of the pigments, and ONLY in the USA and some parts of Europe.
Cameleon cakes are vegan and they are not tested on animals. They contain no parabens or lanolin to reduce the risk of allergic reactions. Cameleon cakes are made in China under the direction of Cameleon in the Netherlands.
