According to the FDA, Pharmaceutical grade products are required to be 99% pure, where Cosmetic grade products are only required to be 70% pure.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) divides skin care products into two separate categories:
1. Pharmaceutical
2. Cosmetic Grade
Pharmaceutical grade products you apply topically penetrate through the layers of the epidermis and affect the function and structure of the skin. Pharmaceutical products undergo rigorous testing that can go on for more than 10 years and cost millions of dollars. Pharmaceutical grade products are only available through a licensed professional. These products not only contain a higher percentage of active ingredients, but a higher quality of each ingredient. Active ingredients and percentages can make a difference in the skin leading to more affective and faster results.
