Ensuring the safety of chemicals is the main goal of the European Union's REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals) regulation. Pigments used in permanent makeup fall under the chemicals regulated by this regulation. Therefore, it is crucial to check whether a pigment is REACH compliant before use.
To check if a pigment is REACH compliant, you should look for a REACH compliance certificate from a reputable laboratory provided by the manufacturer. CTL Bielefeld Lab GmbH in Germany, Eurofins in France, and Intertek in the United Kingdom are just a few of the laboratories in the EU and the USA that issue REACH compliance certificates for pigments. In the United States, some laboratories providing pigments regulated by the FDA include CTL.
