- Record Type: CHINA_INSPECTION
- Title: Announcement from Chongqing Municipal Food and Drug Administration Regarding the Investigation and Handling of Substandard Cosmetics (Issue 3, 2018)
- Company Name: Guangzhou Kangyu Biotechnology Co., Ltd.
- Publication Date: 2020-12-14

- Summary: The Chongqing Municipal Food and Drug Administration announced on December 14, 2020, the investigation and handling of substandard cosmetics, following a 2018 National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) directive. This case involved a national sampling inspection where an Estée Lauder "Pomegranate" Radiant Brightening Mask was identified as a counterfeit product at an Estée Lauder Beauty Salon in Tongliang District. The product, falsely attributed to "Guangzhou Kenuo Biotechnology Co., Ltd." as its manufacturer, was found to contain undeclared hair dyes, specifically m-aminophenol and p-phenylenediamine, during laboratory testing. In response, the Tongliang District Branch, operating under the "Cosmetics Hygiene Supervision Regulations," mandated that the business unit immediately remove the product from shelves and initiated an investigation. On August 20, 2018, the branch issued a penalty to the unit, which included the confiscation of 1,616 yuan in illegal gains, 594 yuan for sample purchase expenses, and a fine of 6,464 yuan, calculated as four times the illegal gains. This enforcement action underscores the regulatory commitment to consumer protection and combating counterfeit products in China's cosmetics industry.
