Abstract
Intoxications from cosmetic products are common incidents resulting from inappropriate or excessive use, whether accidental or intentional, through ingestion, inhalation, or skin absorption of substances present in cosmetic products. The aim of this retrospective study is to establish the epidemiological profile of hair cosmetic poisoning cases reported to the Moroccan Poison Control and Pharmacovigilance Center (CAPM) between 1981 and 2011. The results indicate a predominance of females (74.12%). However, 54.11% are adults, 20% are infants + toddlers, and 24.70% are adolescent children. Furthermore, 66.67% of them suffered from hair dye and coloring intoxication. On the other hand, a majority of 41% showed a slight risk or no risk at all. Another notable observation is that 39% of the victims have shown a moderate risk. Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that the fatality rate is 1.1%. Furthermore, there is a need to raise awareness among the public and the media about the dangers of using certain cosmetic products.
