"Does FDA approve cosmetics before they go on the market?

FDA's legal authority over cosmetics is different from other products regulated by the agency, such as drugs, biologics, and medical devices. Cosmetic products and ingredients are not subject to FDA premarket approval authority, with the exception of color additives. However, FDA may pursue enforcement action against violative products, or against firms or individuals who violate the law."

Product:

.25mm density semi-permanent eyelash extensions - all colors

Reason for Non-Approval:

While these lashes that were release in 2007 in the United States have gained popularity, Lavish Lashes has listed this product as Non-Approved in that based on current studies the eyelashes are too heavy to attach to the natural eyelash. These lashes most likely will over burden the follicle and cause premature eyelash loss.

Product:

Swarovski Eyelash Crystals - All styles

Reason for Non-Approval:

If these products are attached to the eyelash they will burden the eyelash follicle for an extended period of time. As this product is recommended to be applied with semi-permanent eyelash extension adhesive these crystals will remain on the eyelash for an extended period of time and may possibly contribute to premature eyelash loss. Exception to this policy may apply if crystals are to be worn on a short term basis for special events, etc. Crystals should not be adhered to the natural eyelash for a period exceeding 24 hours.

Product:

Y-Lashes All Sizes

Reason for Non-Approval:

This product may put too much weight on the natural lash if applied incorrectly. Lavish Lashes, LLC is currently evaluating this product and will post it's findings by December 01, 2007
