The Black Mask

The Black Mask

The Federation of Beauty Enterprises (Febea) sounded the alarm this Thursday about three beauty products sold in France and intended to fight blackheads.
These include the Black Mask of the brand One1x, the Suction Black Mask from Cidbest and the Purifying Peel-off Mask from Buoceans, products formulated from coal and glue.

Many adverse effects

It was after observing that many reactions such as irritations, burns and allergies were reported by users that the Federation procured "the most popular products" to check their compliance, as indicated in a press release . However, their actual composition has not been controlled.
Appraisal: "inconsistencies" between "the list of ingredients and the information concerning the lifetime of the product" were noted in particular. Moreover, "none of these products, yet bought on a French site, are labeled in French, which is however mandatory," laments the Febea, believing that they could be made in China.

A phenomenon on social networks

According to the trade union, "this can have serious consequences on the health of consumers", even though "in recent months, black masks with anti-blackhead function have become a real phenomenon on social networks", as Some viral videos testify. Even the youtubeuse EnjoyPhoenix has experienced.

According to the Federation, the list of ingredients, the lot number and the name and address of the responsible person, which is generally a company, must appear on the authorized products.
