Not all products are created equal—this fact is highlighted by the big differences in cosmetic regulations between the European Union (EU) and the United States. The EU has banned the use of more than 1,300 cosmetic ingredients due to concerns over harmful effects, while the US has banned just 11. This significant difference highlights a global inconsistency in consumer safety standards and underscores the importance of sourcing skincare from companies that prioritize safety and quality. In this world of different cosmetic rules, Switzerland stands out as a leader in safe and high-quality skincare, a level of excellence that Mythos Men is proud to maintain.
Understanding the Regulatory Gap
The EU operates under a precautionary principle, which errs on the side of caution, banning or restricting substances that may pose a risk to human health. This approach has led to the prohibition of over 1,300 ingredients in cosmetics, ranging from certain parabens, phthalates, and formaldehyde-releasing agents to various colorants and fragrances linked to adverse health effects.
Contrastingly, the US cosmetic industry is governed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with notably less stringent regulations. The limited list of banned substances includes mercury compounds and chloroform among others, but allows many ingredients restricted in the EU. This leads to a market flooded with items containing potentially harmful chemicals.
The Swiss Standard: A Benchmark of Safety and Quality
Swiss Skincare Regulations: Among the strictest in the world, Swiss cosmetic law bans over 1,328 irritants, starkly contrasting with the US FDA's prohibition of only 11 skincare ingredients. This rigorous stance on safety is part of what sets Swiss skincare apart, ensuring that products made in Switzerland meet some of the highest safety standards worldwide.
