Just in case you had any ideas about it, Dairy Foods Safety Victoria took the time to point out that cosmetic products should not be used for human consumption.

The advisory is for several cosmetic dairy products on the market in Australia that customers may be tempted to consume as food. 

In the article, Anne Astin, CEO of DFSV, mentioned that these cosmetic products were not pasteurized. The sale of these products as food, therefore, would violate Australian law.

“Pasteurisation is important as it involves heating the dairy product to a high temperature for a short time which kills or inactivates all pathogens such as E.coli, Salmonella and Listeria," said Astin, also including that, "Pasteurisation has little effect on the flavour or nutritional value of the milk.” Way to sneak it in there, Astin.

iFSN believes that pasteurized milk is safer milk. And while we say you should consume your dairy products in whatever manner you’d like (provided you’re not giving a dangerous product to your children), we ask that you not ingest your make-up. It just seems wrong.
