Mandatory safety standards do not apply to cosmetics within Australia.

Governed by the Australian Consumer & Competition Commission (ACCC) mandatory safety standards, specify the minimum safety requirements that products must meet before they are sold to consumers. These standards apply to most product categories from bath toy's to clothing to sunglasses. Except cosmetic products including kids bath products.

According to the ACCC, the sale of cosmetics must adhere to a mandatory information standard that ensures consumers (parents) are provided with important information on product labelling (e.g. a list of ingredients) to assist them in making a purchasing decision. The problem with this is, unless you have a chemistry degree or google, most parents will have little to no understanding of the ingredients listed (e.g. What is Methylchloroisothiazolinone?).

According to healthline, Methylchloroisothiazolinone (MCI) is a preservative that’s active against bacteria, yeast, and fungi. It’s used in the manufacture of water-based cosmetics and personal care products as well as paint and glue.

Unlike safety standards, information standards do not necessarily relate to the safety aspects of a product nor do they require testing of products prior to sale.

Therefore, just because a bath or hair care product is labelled for kids or babies, does not mean its ingredients have been tested and or found safe for use in infants. The responsibility falls on the parent to buy aware.

The average child is exposed through kids bath products to 27 chemicals a day, that have not been found safe for children. According to a study by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) of 3,300 parents in the US, this included some chemicals associated with cancer, brain and nervous system damage, allergies and hormone disruption.

Did you know a child’s skin is 30 percent thinner than an adult’s, and can absorb greater amounts of chemicals from the skin surface.

• Don’t be fooled by the packaging (e.g. picture of a cute baby laughing) or creative marketing claims of being 'soap free' or 'from nature'. Turn the bottle over and look at the ingredients list.
• First is not always a good thing. By law, cosmetics ingredients need to be listed in volume from highest to lowest. Focus your attention on the first 3-5 ingredients.
