On September 25th, 2018, National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) issued a notice on the inspection results of 28 batches of unqualified cosmetics produced by 21 manufacturers including the Laidan fine chemical factory in Baiyun district, Guangzhou. The result in detail could be referred to Table 1 below. The inspection this time is mainly for hair dye products produced by manufacturers from Guangdong province, as well as Zhejiang, Beijing and Liaoning province.
According to Regulations Concerning the Hygiene Supervision over Cosmetics, hair dye products belong to special use cosmetics, which could be sold after the issue of hygiene license. In Accordance with the regulations on acceptance of hygiene license of cosmetics, it is required to apply for license as a new product once there're changes on the formula of cosmetics or changes involving safety issues. Due to safety concern, some of the banned substances have been adjusted in Safety and Technical Standards for Cosmetics (2015 vision). 2-aminophenol, a permitted hair dye in Hygienic Standards for Cosmetics (2007 vision), became a banned substance in the 2015 vision. The main problem of the unqualified hair dye products discovered via the inspection is that the actual detected ingredients are not consistent with the approved formula or label identification, which is considered as an action of changing product formula without authorization. The licenses of a few products have expired. The banned substance 2-aminophenol and other unlabeled hair dyes such as phenyl methyl pyrazolone, 2-amino-3-hydroxypyridine, 4-Chlororesorcinol, etc, were detected in several batches of products, which violated relevant regulations.
NMPA had required the FDA of Guangdong, Liaoning, Beijing and Zhejiang province (cities) to order relevant manufacturers to recall failed products and to inspect those manufacturers. Local FDAs were required by NMPA to deal with the above companies seriously in accordance with laws and to disclose relevant information in time.
