There are health risks in 3 batches, how to buy safe sunscreen

In summer and autumn, the light is strong. When people travel, sun protection is an essential step. Compared with adults, children's skin has not yet developed, and it is more likely to be damaged by ultraviolet rays. It is estimated that the amount of ultraviolet radiation accepted by children each year is three times that of adults, so children need protection.

During the survey, the reporter noticed that the sunscreens used by children in the past two years have begun to sell quietly. These products are mainly safe, gentle, efficient, and are favored by many parents and have considerable sales. Can these sunscreen really use it with confidence?

Recently, in order to understand the quality of such products, the Jiangsu Consumer Rights Protection Commission has specially carried out comparison tests for children's sunscreen cosmetics. Among the 29 batches of children's cosmetics that claim to have sunscreen functions, 3 batches of actual detection ingredients are inconsistent with label signs and registration information, and there may be health risks such as skin allergies. The sunscreen effect it is not proclaimed and suspected of misleading consumers.

According to the relevant person in charge of the Jiangsu Provincial Consumer Protection Commission, there are many brands of children's sunscreen cosmetics on the market, and the price difference is large. In order to ensure the accuracy and comprehensiveness of the comparative experiments, this comparative test comprehensive consideration of various factors such as channels, prices and brands is sampled.

Zhao Xin, Director of the Supervision Department of the Consumer Rights Protection Committee of Jiangsu Province: In the sampling of comparative test projects, the principles we mainly follow are "large and complete". The more comprehensive merchants and brands; considering the purchase scenario of ordinary consumers, 23 batches are purchased online, and 6 batches are purchased on offline physical stores; the price is converted at the price per 100 grams or 100 ml, from 24.9 yuan The price of 560 yuan is different. It basically covers the mainstream brands, platforms and different prices on the market.

During the survey, the reporter learned that my country's "Cosmetics Supervision and Administration Regulations" stipulates that cosmetics are divided into special cosmetics and ordinary cosmetics. The state implements registration management of special cosmetics and implements record management of ordinary cosmetics. Special cosmetics can be produced and imported after the registration of the State Council's drug supervision and management department.

Children's sunscreen is currently the only children's cosmetics listed as special cosmetics management. According to regulations, manufacturers should register the product formula before production, and the actual components of the listed products are consistent with the label signs and registration information. This comparative test focuses on whether the actual detection ingredients and label signs and registration information of the samples are consistent.

In the National Cosmetics Quality Supervision and Inspection Center that undertakes this comparative test testing task, the test engineer first detected the sunscreen component in the 29 batches of sunscreen cosmetics. It was found that the detection results of the sample sunscreen component nominated "Yaxin Anna Sunscreen" were inconsistent with the label logo.

Wang Wenqiang, an engineer of the National Cosmetics Quality Inspection and Testing Center: One of the product sunscreen components is inconsistent with the label labeling, and the sunscreen components of the label component (table) logo 4-methyl-based sub-camphor. 4-methyl-lipyama camphor is a sunscreen that mainly defensive ultraviolet UVB. It is a chemical sunscreen. The product is marked but has not detected the sunscreen effect that may reduce the product.

According to the test engineer, the ingredients of the product label and the registered information are not detected, but such products may not achieve the proper sunscreen effect. In the interview, the reporter noticed that the problem of this nominal "Yaxin Anna sunscreen" was not only there. Inspection engineers detected a sunscreen component that sensitive people such as children and pregnant women needed to be cautious -two Penzone-3, and this ingredient is not marked in its product label.

Wang Wenqiang, an engineer of the National Cosmetics Quality Inspection and Testing Center: Axyl-3 is a chemical sunscreen, mainly to absorb UVB and short wavelength UVA radiation. Diabenzone-3 can be absorbed by the skin. It may cause contact with or induced (light) allergies during use, which is one of the common allergenic components. In addition, this sunscreen is likely to interfere with endocrine, and safety is controversial. Children, sensitive people, and pregnant women should use it with caution. The ingredients labeled labeled were not detected, but the ingredients were not marked, and this component was still a common allergenic substance. Sensitive people such as children and pregnant women need to pay special attention and use them with caution. The reporter noticed that it was such a product such as "safe skin and no harmful ingredients" on its sales page.

The importance of product safety selling for children's sales is self -evident. During the production process, the manufacturer used possible allergenic ingredients but not marked. Obviously, its importance to product safety needs to be improved.

With the deepening of the survey, the reporter learned that preservatives can prevent bacteria and mold reproduction, which is important for preventing cosmetics from deteriorating and corrupt. It is one of the additives commonly used in cosmetics. Excessive preservatives have a toxic effect on multiple organs such as human skin. Therefore, in my country's "Cosmetic Safety Technical Specifications", strict requirements have been made on the types and limited editions of preservatives. Children's skin is more fragile and sensitive. For the types and contents of preservatives used in children's cosmetics, manufacturers should treat them carefully.

This comparison test found that the actual detection ingredients in the three batches of product preservatives were inconsistent with the label signs and registration information, and there were potential risks such as allergens. These 3 batches of products are:

Name that Ruili moisturizing brightening sunscreen cream has not detected preservatives identified in the label component table and registration information.

Named Yaxin Anna sunscreen detects 1 kind of label component table and preservatives that are not identified by the registration information.

The nominal Kerosi baby hydraulic protection milk tests three types of label components and preservatives that are not identified by the registration information.

Li Li, an engineer of the National Cosmetics Quality Inspection and Testing Center: This comparison test has 2 batches of samples to detect the preservative components that are not marked in the ingredient table. Although the actual content is not exceeded, the safety of the products sold for children is safe. Especially important. The national compulsory standard of cosmetics requires the real name name of the ingredients in cosmetics sales to avoid damage to users. The product registration information and packaging labels are added in the product. Consumers, especially children with allergic reactions to specific preservative components, do not know when using cosmetics. Severe, severe skin allergic dermatitis due to allergens, or cause optical drug reactions or light sensitivity reactions, or even cause cancer.

The inspection engineer told reporters that related manufacturers do not follow the production of product registration information to produce or increase or reduce the types of raw materials, which may cause preservative projects to fail to meet the standard requirements.

The reporter noticed that in addition to being detected in violation of the problem of preservatives, this Kerry baby hydraulic protection milk is also a product selling for children's sunscreen with ordinary cosmetics.

It can be seen that this product declares on its page that "physical sunscreen mild protection" and "sunscreen index 25+", and the product efficacy marked in the product information is "sunscreen". However, the test engineer found that this product was only a protective milk and belonged to ordinary cosmetics. It did not register according to the requirements of special cosmetics, and could not be claimed to have sunscreen function.

Xu Nannan, a senior engineer of the National Cosmetics Quality Inspection and Testing Center: The online shopping product "Kerry Baby Hydraulic Protection milk", the webpage claims that it has physical sunscreen effects. It is a special use cosmetics. However, the actual product is protective milk, which belongs to ordinary cosmetics, not special use cosmetics. The filing number displayed on the product label is the filing number of non -special use cosmetics. The number of cosmetics for special use should be the "national makeup" font size. Product inspection and testing results show that although the physical sunscreen has a small amount of detection, the content is far from the requirements of the sunscreen effect. It shows that the operator uses the webpage to make false publicity that does not match the actual content.

In response to the problems found in this comparison test, the Jiangsu Provincial Consumer Protection Commission has feedback the results to relevant production and sales companies.

Deputy Secretary -General of the Jiangsu Provincial Consumer Rights Protection Commission: The production and sales enterprise of sunscreen shall implement regulations on registered management of special cosmetics in accordance with the "Cosmetics Supervision and Administration Regulations". Do the accurate logo of the three of the three, especially the sunscreen and preservatives that consumers care about, whether to choose a physical sunscreen, or a chemical sunscreen or a hybrid sunscreen product with consumer preferences, have a clear guiding role Consumers with allergic reactions to specific preservatives can also choose the right product when buying.

In the survey, in recent years, with the improvement of parents' sun protection awareness, the production and sales of children's sunscreen cosmetics have increased rapidly. However, while the production and sales of children's sunscreen cosmetics have increased year after year, in order to increase sales, some merchants confuse concepts during sales, and chaos such as exaggeration and false publicity has also followed.

Yang Yang, a researcher -level senior engineer at the National Cosmetics Quality Inspection and Testing Center: Children's sunscreen cosmetics belong to a category of children's cosmetics, some confuse the concept during publicity, some exaggerated publicity, and some cosmetics labels are irregular, the sales of packaging are easy False confusing is also a factor that threatens children's makeup safety. According to the "Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Cosmetics", words such as "applicable to the whole population" and "family use" are identified, or the use of trademarks and patterns implies that the products of the product, including children, must be managed in accordance with children's cosmetics. However, there are some promotional words such as "family available", "infants, children, and adults available" in the market. In fact, they have not been declared according to children's cosmetics. According to industry experts, sunscreen cosmetics such as sunscreen mainly prevent the infringement of ultraviolet rays to human skin. Compared with adults, children's skin pigments are thin, high -sensitivity, and more likely to be burned by ultraviolet radiation. In addition, children's outdoor activity time is long, and ultraviolet radiation cumulative volume is more. It is estimated that the amount of ultraviolet irradiation accepted by children each year is three times that of adults, so children need more protection. Industry experts said that the sunscreen formula for adults is relatively complicated and may not be suitable for children.

Yang Yang, a researcher -level senior engineer at the National Cosmetics Quality Inspection and Testing Center: Children cannot use adult sunscreen because the child's skin is fine and smooth, the cortex is thin, and the melanin is less. Compared with adults, the resistance of ultraviolet rays is weak, so adult sunscreen cannot satisfy children. Skin requirements.

So what are the precautions for parents when buying children's sunscreen for their children?

Among the 29 batches of samples involved in this comparison test, there are 8 batches of physical sunscreen products, which are all in accordance with the standard requirements; the other 21 batches are chemical sunscreen products and hybrid sunscreen products, of which 3 batches are not not meet the standards.

According to industry experts, sunscreen uses the effect of absorption, reflection or scattering of light to protect the skin. According to different principles, sunscreen cosmetics are generally divided into products added with physical sunscreen products, chemical sunscreen products and physical chemical sunscreens. Among them, physical sunscreen products are the sunscreen effect through reflection of ultraviolet rays. At present, the physical sunscreens on the market mainly include titanium dioxide and zinc oxide; chemical sunscreens are usually ultraviolet absorbers. The skin plays a role in protecting, but excessive use will affect skin health, and may occur in skin allergies and sensitivity.

Industry experts said that from the perspective of use, physical sunscreen products are relatively safe and gentle, and they are more suitable for infants and pregnant women who have higher requirements for safety.

The Jiangsu Provincial Consumer Protection Commission reminds consumers that children should pay attention not to use sunscreen products excessively. When purchasing, they should recognize a reputable sales platform and brand. Registration information of cosmetics, you can buy it after you understand it.

Deputy Secretary -General of the Consumer Rights Protection Commission of Jiangsu Province, Ju Shang: First, check the information of the product when purchasing, such as the special cosmetics approval number, the Chinese label of the imported products, etc.; Second, the anti -allergic test should be performed before use, Consumers can apply a small amount of products to the middle and lower parts of the front arm. If there is no abnormality after 24 hours, they can use it with confidence; third, children should not use sunscreen products too much; fourth, parents when choosing sunscreen for their children, when choosing sunscreen for their children, parents are You can consider choosing products containing physical sunscreens.
