A cosmetic shall be deemed to be adulterated:

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 direction for such preliminary testing. For the purposes of this subdivision (1) and subdivision (5) of this section, the term “hair dye” shall not include eyelash dyes or eyebrow dyes;
