Survey on the Quality of Teeth Whitening Product in Taiwan

近年來牙齒美白產品受到消費者青睞，依據我國化粧品衛生安全管理法規定居家使用之美白牙齒產品列屬特定用途化粧品，主要成分有過氧化氫（hydrogen peroxide）及過碳酸醯胺（carbamide peroxide）。為確保消費者使用牙齒美白產品之安全，食藥署於108年2月至10月間委由各縣市衛生局於進口商、代理商及製造廠抽驗17件產品，另網路價購產品10件，共計27件，其中國產品10件，輸入品17件，分別依中華藥典及美國藥典進行過氧化氫及過碳酸醯胺之鑑別及含量測定，結果顯示有8件產品與規定不符，其中6件主成分含量與原查驗登記規格不符，2件則未依規定辦理特定用途化粧品查驗登記，且所含過氧化氫含量超出限量標準6％，不符規定者均已函送地方衛生機關予以行政處理。

Teeth whitening products are favored by customers in recent years, and these products, containing hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide, are regulated as specific purpose cosmetics based on Cosmetic Hygiene and Safety Act. To ensure the safety of the teeth whitening products, 27 samples were collected (10 domestic products and 17 imported ones) by local health bureaus from agents, importers, and manufacturers. 10 samples were purchased randomly from the online shops by Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (TFDA) from February to October in 2019. These products were tested according to United States Pharmacopoeia and Chinese Pharmacopoeia. The results of 27 commercial teeth whitening products showed that 8 samples failed to comply with regulation, 6 samples did not meet the requirements for active content, and 2 samples containing hydrogen peroxide were not officially licensed and the concentration of hydrogen peroxide exceeded the limit of 6%. All samples found violative were sent to related administrative authorities for penalties.
