Consumption of cosmetic products by the French population second part: Amount data

• French consumption of cosmetic products was assessed with a focus on the amount per use.
• Adult, child and baby consumers were taken into account.
• This work provided basis for ensuring a current exposure assessment.

The aim of the study was to assess the amount per use of cosmetic products consumed at home by the adult, child and baby French population. 1078 men and women participated in the study which was performed in four cities of France. This enquiry was performed on 106 cosmetics including general hygiene, skin care, hair care, hair styling, make-up, fragrances, solar, shaving and depilatory, and baby products.Coupled to frequency data previously obtained (Ficheux et al., 2015), these amounts per use data will be used in order to assess the exposure to cosmetics by the French population. These current exposure values could be useful for safety assessors and for safety agencies.
