FDA lists fake cosmetic products; warns public of health hazards

MANILA, Feb. 22 (PIA) – The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warns public anew of “unnotified” or fake cosmetic products being sold in the local market.

FDA issued advisories concerning the proliferation of these counterfeit products that may pose health hazards to consumers.

Authorities said that following cosmetic products have not gone through the verification process of the agency and have not been issued the proper authorization in the form of acknowledged cosmetic notifications. Pursuant to Republic Act No. 9711, otherwise known as the “Food and Drug Administration Act of 2009,” the manufacture, importation, exportation, sale, offering for sale, distribution, transfer, non-consumer use, promotion, advertising or sponsorship of health products without the proper authorization from FDA is prohibited.

FDA added that potential hazards may come from ingredients that are not allowed to be part of a cosmetic product or from the contamination of heavy metals such as mercury especially in whitening cosmetic products.
