This notice is issued based on the requirements of the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council (EU) 2023/988 on general product safety.

Basic safety and handling principles

• Keep out of reach of children: The product is not a toy; there is a risk of ingestion or contact with eyes.
• Patch test: Before first use, perform a tolerance test on a small area of skin. If redness, itching, or burning occurs, discontinue use.
• Contact with eyes and mucous membranes: Avoid direct contact with eyes; if contact occurs, rinse immediately with water. Do not use on damaged or irritated skin.
• Hygiene: Apply with clean hands and clean applicators; regularly clean brushes and sponges. Do not share cosmetics with others.
• Follow manufacturer’s instructions: Respect the method of application, exposure time, and warnings on the packaging (including the PAO symbol and minimum durability date).

Correct and safe use

• Use as intended: Use only on designated areas (e.g., eye products only around the eyes, lip products only on lips).
• Sensitive groups: During pregnancy, breastfeeding, or skin conditions, consult the use of specific ingredients according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Flammability: Some products (spray lacquers, alcohol-based products) are flammable – do not use near open flames or heat sources.
• Removal: Always thoroughly remove make-up before sleeping with a suitable remover; residues can cause irritation or clog pores.

Cleaning, maintenance, and storage
