In order to ensure the products placed online comply with Taiwan cosmetic legislation, Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (TFDA) initiated online market surveillance program of cosmetics in 2020. Sixty cosmetic products were bought from popular e-commerce and online trade such as PChome, momo, books, Rakuten, udn, Payeasy and @s3beauty. Product categories included eyelash serums, hair tints, shampoos for colored hair, eyebrow tinting, makeup and eyelash glues, each of them 10 samples were bought. Sixteen of the products were domestic, the other 44 were imported from Japan, Korea, USA, Italy, etc. Samples were analyzed by relevant analytical methods posted on TFDA website (www. fda.gov.tw). Hair tints, shampoos for colored hair and eyebrow tinting were analyzed for 79 hair dye ingredients and 14 prohibited pigments; eyelash serums were analyzed of 4 prostaglandin analogs including bimatoprost; makeup products were analyzed for heavy metals (mercury, lead, arsenic and cadmium) and microorganisms; and eyelash glues were analyzed for prohibited solvents (methyl alcohol, toluene, benzene, acentonitrile, dichrolomethane, etc.) and phthalates. The results showed that one product (shampoo for colored hair) was found to contain hair dye ingredient of Basic orange 31 and Basic red 51 without license application, and two eyelash glues were found to contain prohibited ingredients of toluene 2.5 ppm and benzene 24.6 ppm, respectively.
