What is the maximum time limit that Fair & Lovely should be used? What may be the side effects of using it beyond the advisable limit?
Our products are formulated as cosmetics, which means, they can be used regularly and safely as directed on the pack. All the ingredients of our formulations including Niacinamide, sunscreens and even the materials used for the base are all widely used in personal care products globally and approved by agencies like the BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) , EU (European Union), US-FDA (United States-Food & Drug Administration) and listed in CTFA [Cosmetics Toiletries and Fragrance Association] and other Cosmetic reference literatures. The safety of Niacinamide in cosmetic products has also been reviewed by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel in the USA (2005) which concluded that Niacinamide was safe as used in current marketed cosmetics. The use of Niacinamide by Unilever Fair & Lovely is within this standard.
