什麼是 cosmeceuticals?
Cosmeceuticals= cosmetics+ pharmaceuticals , 也就是含藥化妝品。
The definition of “cosmeceutical” J.Soc, Cosmet. Chem 13: 103-106
l A cosmeceutical is a scientifically designed product
Intended for external application to human body
l A cosmeceutical produces a useful, desired result
l A cosmeceutical has desirable aesthetic properties
l A cosmeceutical meets rigid chemical, physical and medical standards
藥妝產品作為化妝品銷售，但其含有biologically active ingredients.。皮膚病學研究, 含藥的藥妝品中使用的活性成分可能比一般化妝品有效果（e.g., Chen et al., 2005; Zettersten, Ghadially, Feingold, Crumrine, & Elias, 1997）。
然而，藥妝產品並沒有像藥品做很多嚴謹實驗來證明這些產品的有效性。也就是不能確定對每個人都有效? 什麼樣的濃度有效? 什麼樣的濃度太高? 會有那些不良反應? 並沒有像藥品有明確的指引與標示。因"含藥", 必然有副作用, 所以在安全性考量下界定上限濃度。
在台灣, 對於廠商來說, 化妝品若成分含有特定成分屬於藥妝品, 就需要做查驗登記, 有含藥化妝品許可證才能販賣。 整個流程至少要花半年到一年, 不同國家也有不同的管理方式。
