Banned chemicals have been found in many cosmetics in Europe. The European Chemicals Agency launched an investigation. That's where this information came from.
At least six percent of cosmetics contain the banned chemical. Germany is one of the 13 countries of the European Union. Four and a half thousand toiletries of different prices are bought from the market. Then they are sent for testing.
According to the Chemicals Agency, banned chemicals were found in 285 products. These chemicals are banned in Europe. These chemicals damage the skin.
The investigation was conducted from November 2023 to April 2024. Investigators said the products were bought based on the description on the packaging. Surprisingly, it is written there that banned chemicals have been used in the product. That is, buyers can also see this information if they want.
According to the report prepared by the agency, consumers do not actually know which chemicals are banned in Europe and why.
Items that have been found to contain the banned chemical include everyday items such as pencil eye liner, lipstick, hair conditioner, and masks.
According to the organization, a written notice will be sent to the suppliers of toiletries for the time being. They will be informed that any products contain banned chemicals. It will be said that they should not bring those things to the market.
They also said that if the initial steps do not work, further plans will be taken.
