In recent days, the uproarious "big head doll" incident has aroused the attention and heated discussion of the whole network. A 5-month-old baby is suspected of using hormone-containing "Aiyingshu" brand "Yifulin Multi-effect Special Antibacterial Cream", which caused developmental delay, hirsutism, and face swelling. This product is owned by Fujian Ouai Infant and Child Health Care Products Co., Ltd., and its production has been suspended and the product involved has been removed from the shelves.

　　Although the official investigation results have yet to be further confirmed, the focus of the incident for the beauty industry is firstly on the quality and safety of baby skin care products, and secondly on the difference between "eliminator" and "makeup" products.

　　In fact, the product involved this time has obtained the "(Min) Wei Xiaozheng Zi" license number, that is to say, it belongs to the "Xiao" brand product and does not belong to the category of cosmetics, but the product is different from the appearance and content. And the usage method is very similar to baby skin care products.

　　Why was the product involved this time mistaken for cosmetics?

　　The first is that consumers have unclear understanding of "Zhuangzihao" and "Xiaozihao" products. Most consumers think that the product is a baby cream that can prevent and treat eczema.

　　In fact, the "elimination number" is a sanitation batch number approved by the local health department. It does not have any curative effect. It belongs to the category of sanitary and disinfection products. The main detection index is sterilization. Since Xiaozhao only has the disinfection function and does not have the therapeutic effect, manufacturers and operating companies should not make any effective publicity on products with the word "Xiao". It is worth noting that neither "makeup brand" or "special brand" cosmetics may claim to have therapeutic, antibacterial and antibacterial effects.

　　Secondly, many related companies also have the operating licenses for the production and operation of consumer products, cosmetics, machinery and even quasi-brand products. The company involved in the "big head doll" originally had the production and operation licenses for makeup, erasure, and even mechanical names. Another example is that many cosmetics companies produced "eliminated" hand-washing gels and antiseptic hand sanitizers during the epidemic this year. In this way, some products will inevitably mislead unskilled consumers.

　　Why is "eliminating font size" so popular and specifically targeting the infant skin care market?

　　On the one hand, because babies are prone to problems such as eczema and diaper rash, it is relatively difficult to care for them. When the skin care products market is difficult to take advantage of, some unscrupulous manufacturers aim at "eliminating the font" products and produce the hormone "baby cream" that can take effect quickly. ".

　　On the other hand, it is not unrelated to the approval and supervision of related consumer products. The approval, certification, and approval of Xiaozhao products is carried out by the local health department. Generally, it only takes 1 month. Compared with makeup, special cosmetics and Guoyao Zhunzhuang products, the approval and testing procedures are stricter. The inspection indicators for Xiaozhao products are Mainly bactericidal effect. This also means that the approval of the elimination of font size products is relatively simple and single, and therefore, there are more regulatory loopholes. Ease of examination and approval and lack of supervision will inevitably give some unscrupulous companies an opportunity.

　　In the past two years, not only have many Xiaozhao products with baby cream been exposed, but also many make-up baby creams have appeared in newspapers from time to time. Many hot-selling baby creams (creams), such as Magpie Cream, Xingpu Cream, Dr. Al Ain, and Shouer's Herbal Fule Cream, have been exposed by many media to have illegal addition of hormones, and most of the products belong to the eradication brand. On December 31, 2020, the Guangxi Guigang Market Supervision Bureau organized the supervision and random inspection of 75 batches of cosmetics operations in 2020. According to the inspection and judgment of the "Cosmetics Safety Technical Specification" (2015 edition), the inspection was detected in this supervision and random inspection. 4 batches of products were unqualified, of which 3 batches involved infant cosmetics, and the unqualified items were all dexamethasone, which is a hormone component.

　　Although the "Regulations on Supervision and Administration of Cosmetics" has been formally implemented on January 1, 2021, the supervision of cosmetics is also increasingly strengthened. However, there are still deficiencies and loopholes in the supervision of "skin care products", especially baby cream and other products that are dressed in "eliminating fonts". These products are neither makeup nor medicine, but they often use makeup or medicine claims. What's more serious is that in order to highlight the "curative effect" of products, some companies take risks and illegally add banned hormones, which violates the legitimate rights and interests of consumers and poses a great threat to personal health.

　　Here, we not only call on the national regulatory authorities to further strengthen the supervision and management of "Xiaozihao" products, but also call on related cosmetics companies to make clear that in addition to the basic sterilization and disinfection effects when producing "Xiaozihao" products Mark the scope and method of use.

　　The "big head doll" incident also reminds us that, no matter who is supervising the font size, mechanical font size or makeup font size, companies should first maintain the bottom line of quality and safety.
