Prostaglandin analogues are listed ingredients in cosmetic products sold on the UK market with the function of promoting eyelash growth. These ingredients have pharmacological properties and prostaglandin analogues are used as active ingredients in medicinal products requiring a doctor’s prescription in the UK.
To investigate the use of prostaglandin analogues in cosmetic products, OPSS invited LGC to review their use and analyse eye lash growth products available to the UK consumer.
