Abstract

Cosmetics represent a wide and varied category of consumer products, which feed a growing market. Up to now consumers have mostly based their choices on the prestige of the brand and on the persuasive influence of advertising. Over the last few years, however, consumers have become more aware ,of safety and quality questions and now tend to include ethical and environmental requisites, even if they are not directly connected to the concept of the "suitability for use" of .a product. These aspects, therefore, become part and parcel of the "quality" of a cosmetic product. The aim of this work is to analyse in general problems relating to quality, in all its aspects, in the cosmetics sector and to evaluate the'opportunities and advantages offered to consumers by certification.
