Sec. 18.
A cosmetic is adulterated:
(a) If it bears or contains any poisonous or deleterious substance which
may render it injurious to users under the conditions of use prescribed in
the labeling or advertisement thereof or under such conditions of use as
are customary or usual. However, this provision shall not apply to coal-tar
hair dye, the label of which bears the following legend conspicuously
displayed thereon: "Caution--This product contains ingredients which may
cause skin irritation on certain individuals and a preliminary test
according to accompanying directions should first be made. This product
must not be used for dyeing the eyelashes or eyebrows; to do so may cause
blindness", and the labeling of which bears adequate directions for such
preliminary testing. For the purpose of this paragraph and paragraph (e)
the term "hair dye" shall not include eyelash dyes or eyebrow dyes.
(b) If it consists in whole or in part of any filthy, putrid or
decomposed substance.
(c) If it has been produced, prepared, packed or held under unsanitary
conditions whereby it may have become contaminated with filth or whereby it
may have been rendered injurious to health.
(d) If its container is composed in whole or in part of any poisonous or
deleterious substance which may render the contents injurious to health.
(e) If it is not a hair dye and it is or it bears or contains a color
