What is pharmaceutical skincare?
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) divides skin care products into two separate categories: Cosmetic & pharmaceutical. Pharmaceutical products undergo rigorous testing. Pharmaceutical grade products are only available through a licensed professional. These products not only contain a higher percentage of active ingredients, but higher quality of each ingredient. According to the FDA, pharmaceutical grade products are required to be 99% pure, where cosmetic grade products are only required to be 70% pure. Active ingredients are those that can make a change in your skin such as (reducing wrinkles, pigmentation, alleviate acne, etc.).
Pharmaceutical products are regulated as drugs—their ingredients must be pure, undiluted, conform to what is claimed and lack impurities. Cosmetic-grade products, commonly purchased at your local drugstore or department store, are not held to the same standard. The FDA regulates all cosmetics as foods and defines all skin care products as cosmetics. Just as one can choose to purchase foods of very different quality, one may also buy skin care products of superior quality or of much lesser quality. Cosmetic-grade products may be made with ingredients that are very non-pure, may contain numerous filler ingredients and offer minimal effectiveness.
