Hydroquinone, mercury, tretinoin and steroids are chemicals forbidden to be used as cosmetic ingredients by law. To investigate the presence of such chemicals in the cosmetic produces in medical beauty clinics, the local health authorities were commissioned by TFDA to randomly collect 60 samples from medical beauty clinics from January to December, 2015. Among these 60 samples, 37 were domestic products, 20 were imported and 3 were not clearly labeled with manufactures' information. In the analytical tests, none of above-mentioned additives were detected in all samples. As for the labelling of the package or container, 27 (45%) failed to comply with labeling regulations, therein 12 were not labeled with "Usage", the most common violation. These surveillance findings were forwarded to administration units as reference for further correction actions to ensure the product quality. |
