Recently, the Guangdong Food and Drug Administration has released the results of supervisory risk monitoring specifically for the illegal addition of online sales mask products. The results show that the safety of online sales mask products is not optimistic.

What are the brands of mask opium?

In the supervised sampling of mask cosmetics, it was found that the 39 batches of mask products produced by 11 companies had the problem of illegally adding the banned substance clobetasol propionate. Related companies have been investigated and punished.

According to reports, the production enterprises and unqualified items involved in the unqualified products are: Jinluo 4-in-1 intensive whitening repair mask produced by the nominal Langhuan (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., which is nominally produced by Shanghai Xuedai Daily Chemical Co., Ltd.依琳娜三重效膜, the brand name of Shenghuimei Biotechnology (Pinghu) Co., Ltd. produced the card 缇·Danlan Platinum-class snail luxury multi-effect repair mask, the nominal sheaguo produced by Guangzhou Yuchao Cosmetics Co., Ltd.

The surface film was found to contain the banned substance triamcinolone acetonide; the 3D compact lifting elastic mask produced by the nominal Guangzhou Cosmetics Cosmetics Co., Ltd. detected hydrocortisone containing the banned substance. The plain muscle acne youth mask produced by the famous Huizhou Qifen Cosmetics Co., Ltd. was found to contain two banned substances, clobetasol propionate and betamethasone dipropionate.

The reporter learned that clobetasol propionate, betamethasone dipropionate, triamcinolone acetonide and hydrocortisone are all glucocorticoid substances, which are banned substances for cosmetics. Long-term use of cosmetics containing glucocorticoids may cause problems such as dark spots on the face, shrinkage and thinning, and hormone-dependent dermatitis.

Mask opium contains a lot of hormones

Sampling nearly 1/4 of the added glucocorticoids

After screening and screening, the staff purchased a total of 137 facial masks from various e-commerce platforms and some WeChat sellers. The samples took into account the high and low-end prices, of which 6 were under 20 yuan, 20 to 100 yuan. There are 75 samples between them, 32 samples from 100 to 200 yuan, and 3 samples from 200 yuan or more.

After the sampling was completed, the staff first tested the glucocortic hormone, a banned substance in cosmetics. As a result, 33 mask samples were found to have illegally added glucocorticoids, accounting for 24.1% of the total sample.

What is glucocorticoid?

It is understood that glucocorticoid is a kind of clinical drug, which has good curative effect in anti-inflammatory and anti-allergy, and is widely used in the treatment of dermatitis and eczema in dermatology. But at the same time, experts pointed out that any drug has side effects and must be used strictly under the guidance of a doctor. If you abuse glucocorticoids, you will have serious toxic side effects.

Some masks that have been added with glucocorticoids can achieve quick-acting whitening and skin rejuvenation in a short period of time. However, if used for a long time, human skin will produce hormone-dependent symptoms. After discontinuation, it will aggravate skin allergies and cause erythema and papules. Serious problems such as telangiectasia. In 2007, the "Hygienic Standards for Cosmetics" promulgated by the Ministry of Health clearly stipulated that the addition of glucocorticoids to cosmetics should be prohibited.

Driven by the interests, some companies will illegally add glucocorticoids known as “skin opium” to the mask, unilaterally emphasizing the effect of quick-acting whitening and skin rejuvenation, and ultimately harming the health of consumers. In the investigation, the reporter learned that in recent years, there have been more and more patients suffering from skin hormone dependence due to the use of cosmetics that illegally add substances.

A mask is getting more sensitive with two years of skin

Not long ago, a female patient was admitted to the dermatology department of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University. This patient usually has the habit of applying a mask frequently. She used the same mask for two consecutive years. But in the end, the skin becomes more and more sensitive. When the doctor is looking for a red, itchy, slightly sunburned, or emotionally excited face, it will aggravate the condition. Director of the Department of Dermatology, the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, told the reporter that the patient was suffering from a typical glucocorticoid mask and suffered from hormone-dependent dermatitis.

However, it is worrying that in recent years, not only in Guangdong, the number of patients with hormone-dependent dermatitis has increased nationwide. In the dermatology journalist of the Department of Plastic Surgery, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, in recent years, patients like this type of hormone-dependent dermatitis accounted for almost one-fifth of the outpatient visits, and most of these patients have long-term use of certain The experience of these functional beauty products.
