The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) most recent determination provides an opportunity and challenge to continue to improve product safety, as well as to enhance education programs. It is important to understand that the CIR has ruled that keratin-smoothing products CAN be used safely. However, they are not yet convinced that they ARE being used safely in salons. The CIR has expressed its concerns and The Professional Keratin Smoothing Council (PKSC) is listening very carefully. The CIR has requested additional information to demonstrate that these products can be used consistently in a safe manner in professional salon establishments.
The PKSC, an association of the leading manufacturers (Cadiveu, Keratin Complex, Marcia Teixeira, SalonTech, & Aerovex Systems.), distributors and salon professionals, has presented voluminous data to the Cosmetic Ingredient Review Panel (CIR) showing that its members’ products are safe when used per manufacturer’s directions. PKSC members require licensed cosmetologists to participate in a comprehensive educational/certification program in order to have access to their professional-use-only products. It is also imperative to ensure that appropriate salon ventilation is being used in the salon to control vapors and minimize the potential for sensory irritation. Salons that are not equipped with the appropriate salon ventilation (chemical source capture system) needed to prevent sensory irritation should NOT provide these services until this situation is corrected.
