Pregled sestave in ocena varnosti kozmetičnih izdelkov z izvlečki industrijske konoplje

Klemenčič, Manca (author), Sollner Dolenc, Marija (mentor)

Kozmetični izdelki z izvlečki industrijske konoplje pridobivajo vse več zanimanja kot kozmetično aktivne sestavine. Kozmetične izdelke z njenimi izvlečki lahko danes na slovenskem trgu najdemo v lekarnah, specializiranih trgovinah za prodajo zeliščnih izdelkov in medicinskih pripomočkov, drogerijah, supermarketih in specializiranih trgovinah z bioizdelki ter na spletu. Z zbranimi podatki smo dobili vpogled v raznolikost izvlečkov iz industrijske konoplje, uporabljenih v kozmetičnih izdelkih na trgu. Izvlečki industrijske konoplje se uporabljajo v različnih kozmetičnih izdelkih, namenjenih negi telesa, negi obraza, negi las ter za zaščito pred soncem. V raziskavo smo vključili 94 kozmetičnih izdelkov. Največji delež uporabljenih izvlečkov smo zasledili v izdelkih za nego telesa, ki predstavljajo 77 % vseh izdelkov, nato sledijo izdelki za nego obraza z 20 %. Raziskali smo, v kakšnih oblikah se ti nahajajo. Največji delež predstavljajo kreme (30 %) in mazila (20 %) ter izdelki za čiščenje kože (19 %). Konopljino olje in izvleček kanabidiola sta najbolje raziskana izvlečka. Konopljino olje je najpogosteje uporabljen izvleček v kozmetičnih izdelkih, saj je prisoten v kar 83 % vseh izdelkov. Na drugem mestu po pogostosti uporabe sta izvleček konoplje in izvleček kanabidiola. Konopljino olje in izvleček kanabidiola sta bolj podrobno raziskana, preostali izvlečki pa so manj raziskani, kar predstavlja tudi pomisleke o učinkih in varnosti le teh pri dermalni uporabi. Kljub naraščanju števila kozmetičnih izdelkov z izvlečki konoplje se porajajo vprašanja o njihovi varnosti in ustrezni zakonodaji trga. Veliko pomislekov je predvsem z vidika nadzora proizvodnje, distribucije produktov in izvlečkov ter same kakovosti izdelkov. V kozmetičnih izdelkih smo zasledili izvlečke, pridobljene iz cvetov industrijske konoplje, pri čemer je dovoljena uporaba sestavin iz različnih delov rastline, razen cvetnih ali plodnih vršičkov, kar predpisuje ustrezna zakonodaja. V nekaterih izdelkih smo ugotovili prisotnost izvlečkov cvetov konoplje, vendar so proizvajalci sledili novim smernicam ter prilagodili sestavo izdelkov. V nekaterih primerih so jih nadomestili z izvlečki iz listov konoplje, kar kaže na pomembno vlogo zakonodaje pri spremljanju in nadzoru sestavin kozmetičnih izdelkov. Da bo celoten trg ustrezno reguliran, bo moralo preteči še nekaj časa. Trenutno še ni dovolj izvedenih raziskav, da bi lahko podali oceno varnosti uporabe kanabidiola s strani Znanstvenega odbora za varstvo potrošnikov v kozmetičnih izdelkih v Evropski uniji.

• Title: Composition review and safety assessment of cosmetic products containing industrial hemp extracts

Abstract

Interest in cosmetic products with industrial hemp extracts as active ingredients for cosmetic purposes is increasing Nowadays, such products can be found on the Slovenian market in drugstores, stores specialized in the sale of herbal medicines and medical devices, cosmetics shops, supermarkets or specialized health food stores as well as online. The data we collected reveals the diversity of industrial hemp extracts in cosmetic products available on the market. Industrial hemp extracts are used in various cosmetic products for body care, facial care, hair care, and sun protection. Our study involved 94 cosmetic products, and among them body care products represent the largest share of extracts, that is 77 % of all products, followed by facial care products with 20 %. We explored the forms in which they are found. The largest share is constituted by creams (30 %), ointments (20 %), and skin cleansing products (19 %). Hemp oil and cannabidiol extract are the most researched extracts. Hemp oil is the most used extract in cosmetic products as it is present in 83 % of all products. Other most used extracts include hemp extract and cannabidiol. Hemp oil and cannabidiol have been the most studied extracts, while others have been studied less. Therefore, the lack of information about their effects and safety for dermal use could also represent a matter of concern. Despite the growing number of cosmetic products containing hemp extracts, questions arise about their safety and proper market regulation. There are many questions in terms of production control, product and extract distribution, and the quality of products. In some cosmetic products, we detected extracts derived from industrial hemp flowers; however, the relevant legislation allows the use of ingredients from different parts of the plant except for flowers or buds. In some products, we detected the presence of hemp flower extracts, nevertheless, the manufacturers complied with the guidelines and adjusted the product composition. Some manufacturers replaced hemp flower extract with hemp leaf extract which indicates the importance of regulation in the field of monitoring and control of the cosmetic products ingredients. It will take more time to accomplish proper regulation of the entire market. So far, Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety in the European Union has not carried out enough research to allow proper assessment of the safety of cannabidiol use.
