“…Several studies have examined personal hygiene and cosmetic product exposure factors [ 14 , 15 , 28 , 29 ], and exposure factors have been compared in various studies [ 15 , 16 , 17 ]. However, only a few studies have focused on home care products.…”

Reliable exposure factors are essential to determine health risks posed by chemicals in consumer products. We analyzed five risk-concerned product categories (anti-fogging, dye, disinfectant, repellent, and preservative products) for 13 products (three car anti-fogging products, a lens anti-fogging product, two car dye products, two drain disinfectants, an air conditioner disinfectant, a chlorine-based disinfectant, a fabric repellent, an insect repellent for food, and a wood preservative) considered to be of high risk in order to determine exposure factors via web surveys and estimation of amount of product. Among the 3000 participants (1482 (49%) men) aged ≥19 years, drain disinfectants were used most frequently (38.2%); the rate of usage of the other products ranged between 1.1–24.0%. The usage rates for the consumer products differed by sex, age, income, and education. Some consumer products such as car and lens anti-fogging products, chlorine-based disinfectants, fabric repellents, and drain disinfectants were regularly used more than once a month, while car dye products, air conditioner disinfectants, insect repellents for food, and wood preservatives were not regularly used owing to the specific product purposes and seasonal needs. Our results could be used for managing or controlling chemical substances in consumer products and conducting accurate exposure assessments.

“…Co-use of products that contain the same ingredients results in aggregate exposure to those ingredients. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the key patterns of current use of different household product categories to calculate the aggregate exposure (Garcia-Hidalgo et al, 2017). Co-use analysis of 11 product categories was performed for all 6,397 respondents.…”

“…In the USA, the study of use of products and exposure-related behaviors project provided data on usage patterns for many household products (Bennett et al, 2010). Exposure patterns may vary by country (Biesterbos et al, 2013;Park et al, 2015;Garcia-Hidalgo et al, 2017;Park et al, 2017). A national database of aggregate exposure information for household products is essential to conduct aggregate exposure and risk assessments.…”

To accurately evaluate the health risk of consumers from the combined effects of substances in multiple used household products, data on co-use and multiple-use habits and practices of consumers necessarily constitute a fundamental element of the exposure assessment process. To understand the current combined use pattern of household products, reliable combined exposure data were investigated. Eleven household product categories were selected and divided by 40 product use purposes. This approach analyzed the information of single-use, co-use, and multipleuse patterns of the 11 products at home collected from 6,397 respondents. All possible multiple combinations of products and product usage categories were analyzed. As expected, the participants used several products and product usage categories simultaneously. The data yielded important personalized combined exposure patterns that can be used in exposure assessment for hazardous substances that are used as ingredients of products. Furthermore, this study investigated the combined exposure amount of 11 products to user at home. Aggregate exposure amount per month to user was calculated to be 7479.6 g/month (six products in 1 st survey) and 4056 g/month (five products in 2 nd survey). This study provides valuable information on the individual use patterns and circumstances of household product use by consumers. b 107 (multiple-users: DEP, IAP, ARP, TIP) c 281 (co-users: IAP, TIP) b 116 (multiple-users: IAP, ARP, TIP) c 445 (co-users: ARP, TIP) b 2030 aAFP, air-freshener; DEP, deodorant; IAP, ironing auxiliary; ARP, algea remover; TIP, toner and ink cartridge in printer. a numbers of respondents using single product, b numbers of respondents using two products, c numbers of respondents using multiple products.

“…Tyrimas parodė, kad asmens higienos priemonės, tarp jų dezodorantai, antiperspirantai ir kvepalai, kvapieji vandenys, yra reikšmingai dažniau vartojamos nei kiti kosmetikos gaminiai. Kai kurie kiti tyrėjai pateikia panašius duomenis apie didelį asmens higienos priemonių vartojimą, įskaitant dezodorantus ir kvepalus (Ficheux et al, 2015;Garcia-Hidalgo et al, 2017).…”

Research background. Young women use cosmetic products daily to maintain agood aesthetic appearance and express their individuality. Their habits of use affect not only their skin and hair condition but also their well-being and health. After getting familiar with the young women’s opinion about the use of cosmetics, we aimed to promote women’s interest in the safe use of cosmetics.The aim of the study was to assess the opinions of young women towards theuse of cosmetics.Methods. Quantitative research, questionnaire method was applied. The studysample consisted of students of the Klaipeda University of Applied Sciences studying in the field of biomedicine (girls and women, n = 240).Results. The study showed that the most commonly used were hygiene products. Most respondents used between 5 and 10 cosmetic products per day (39.6%). The main choice criteria of cosmetic products were as follows: beneficial long-term effects and the desired effect on beauty. More than 90% of young women believed that cosmetic products might contain substances that were harmful to health, but about 36% of them asked about the presence of specific substances.Conclusion. The study showed that young women’s habits posed a certain riskof adverse effects, as a large number of them were not interested in the composition of the product before purchasing. Despite the fact that the majority of women experienced side effects, a few of them performed a patch test. Most women agreed that it was worth buying organic, though more expensive cosmetics, but a small number applied it themselves.Keywords: cosmetics, women, opinion.
