I began face painting 15 years ago to supplement sales at my crafts booth located at Fairview Farms in Plano, TX. Crafts weren't selling but children were everywhere. After seeing a few children with simple face paintings by a local clown; I decided to see what my brush could accomplish. What you see now has come from 15 years of experience.
* SNAZAROO and Safety *
SNAZAROO manufactures its products using FDA compliant materials, packaging and processes that would provide FDA compliance (and their international counterparts). Our face painting products are regulated as a cosmetic good and are just as safe (or more so) as something you would find at an upscale cosmetic counter. We do not use any materials in our products that could cause harm. This includes the full range of materials from the FDA compliant glitter we use in our glitter gels to the FD&C reds we use in our red face paints. Our factory and manufacturing procedures are also FDA compliant and have been inspected by appropriate federal staff. In addition, we keep FDA approved records to insure the safest manufacturing procedures. Never use any product on the face that does not specifically say it is FDA compliant and safe for use on the face as a cosmetic good. We use no ingredients that do not meet cosmetic guidelines both in the United States and the European Community. As an example... UV and Day-glo pigments MAY BE approved and used in German cosmetics but since they are banned by the USA FDA (Food and Drug Administration) we do not use them. Glow in the dark pigments are approved in the USA but banned by cosmetic regulations in Europe, therefore we do not use them. Again, our ingredients must meet the stringent guidelines of both the USA FDA as well as the European equivalent. We also avoid ingredients that can substantially increase the risk of allergic reaction, such as fragrances. Our products were designed to be used on children and therefore we take every measure that they are the safest face paints in the world. You know if you are you are using SNAZAROO that every measure for safety has been made.
We have spent tens of thousands of dollars in safety testing our products. All of these tests have been done by FDA approved, independent labs both in the USA and in Europe. In routine inspections by the FDA and other international agencies, we have proven time and time again to comply with FDA and child safety guidelines. This includes all packaging. SNAZAROO is the only face paint that also holds a "child toy safety rating" which is a more stringent guideline. In order to receive a child toy safety rating the product has to be very safe if used by children. In other words, in normal use by a child, the the product was abused (put on too thick, accidentally eaten, accidentally dripped in the eye, ear or nose) what is the likelihood that harm could be done to the child? We have passed that test. Our only warning is the products should not be used by children because the small paint disks if swallowed could provide a choking hazard. The product on the child under the age of three is fine. The problem is the small disk could get lodged in the air passage and therefore should not be used by a child without adult supervision. We have had no FDA rejections due to material or manufacturing problems.
