Quality of cosmetics reaches 99.7%

A spot check on cosmetics, conducted by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of China, revealed that the quality of material products reached 99.7%, reported by Xinhua Net.

The spot check tested on 18 indexes including PH value, total bacterial number, heavy metals and formaldehyde. This check involves 80 kinds of cosmetic products produced by 62 enterprises in 6 provinces and municipalities: Beijing, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Guangdong and Fujian. However, it did not include exported cosmetic products.

The main quality problem found in the check was a disqualification in the PH value in some single products.

In view of this disqualification, the correlative enterprises were dealt with according to the law and were required to rectify and improve the condition within a set time period.
