Breaking News: Cosmetic Brands Face Immediate Ban in Portugal
In a surprising turn of events, the Portuguese National Authority of Medicines and Health Products (Infarmed) has taken swift action against two cosmetic brands, Carpi Cosméticos and SeiBellaBrasil. The reason? Non-compliance with legal regulations and the use of a prohibited substance.
But here's where it gets controversial... Infarmed's inspection at Carpi Cosméticos Europa revealed a series of legal infractions that have sparked concern among consumers and industry experts alike. In a detailed circular, Infarmed explained that the company failed to meet the necessary legal requirements, including product notification, identification of the Responsible Person in the EU, and proper labelling.
And this is the part most people miss: the presence of Butylphenyl methylpropional, a substance banned in cosmetics since March 1, 2022, was detected in their products. This raises serious questions about the safety and integrity of the cosmetic industry.
"Consumers who possess these products should refrain from using them," Infarmed warns. This statement is a stark reminder of the potential risks associated with non-compliant cosmetic products.
