All 3 batches of these products had test samples that did not meet quality standards because they contained Propylparaben and Salicylic Acid, which were not included in the product formula ingredients that had been granted a cosmetic product declaration receipt number.
According to experts, parabens in cosmetics can cause irritation and damage to the skin, especially for people with sensitive skin.
Methylparaben can react with UVB rays in sunlight, causing premature aging and increasing the risk of skin cancer. In addition, parabens can cause breast cancer in women or affect reproductive function by increasing estrogen levels in the body.
In addition, many studies have shown that parabens can have negative effects on male reproductive function. Accordingly, butylparaben can reduce the quality and quantity of sperm and affect the normal functioning of sperm. Because of the above harmful effects, parabens are not licensed for use in cosmetics.
Since 2015, the Drug Administration has eliminated a number of substances used in cosmetics, including butylparaben and its salts, propylparaben and its salts, a mixture of parabens with a maximum total concentration of 0.8% (calculated as acid) and 5 parabens (isopropylparaben, isobutylparaben, phenylparaben, benzylparaben and pentylparaben) added to the list of substances not allowed to be used in cosmetics.
There have been many statistics showing that salicylic acid causes many health risks, even death.
As for salicylic acid, one of the most dangerous side effects of salicylic acid is that it causes Reye's syndrome, which can be fatal to users or can leave them disabled for life.
Another risk is that it can cause asthma and aspirin sensitivity. An allergic reaction to aspirin can be fatal. Salicylic acid can also cause skin cancer because it increases the skin's sensitivity to ultraviolet light.
According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (USA), Reye's syndrome will affect all organs in the body, most seriously the brain and liver.
Reye's syndrome also causes fat to build up in the liver and other organs. Reye's syndrome is often misdiagnosed as encephalitis, meningitis, diabetes, drug poisoning, or psychological disorders.
Symptoms of Reye's syndrome include persistent or recurrent vomiting, listlessness, personality changes such as irritability or "confrontational", stubbornness, disorientation, confusion, delirium, seizures and loss of consciousness... 95% of cases of Reye's syndrome are caused by the use of products (cosmetics, pharmaceuticals) containing salicylic acid and aspirin.
Salicylic acid will increase the skin's absorption of ultraviolet rays, leading to the risk of sunburn or skin damage. Therefore, people who use cosmetics containing salicylic acid when going out must use sunscreen with SPF 30.
With the health risks mentioned above, you must be careful when using cosmetics containing salicylic acid, otherwise you may end up with acne that has not gone away but has already caused the disease.
