Una linea cosmetica ***specifica*** da utilizzare in assoluta sicurezza...
This use of 'specifica' is troubling me. The best I can come up with is something like "A line of cosmetics which can be used in total safety".

specific
in this case "specifica" means "perfect for this purpose", I think you can translate "a specific line of cosmetics to be used in total safety"...

: it may not mean "perfect for this purpose" but specific is a much snappier translation here. "specific range of cosmetics" would be my suggestion.
