Recalls in the Safety Gate Portal Cosmetics - November 2024

The rapid alert system Safety Gate of the EU provides information on potentially harmful cosmetics that do not comply with Regulation (EC) No. 1223/2009.

In the month of November, a total of 156 products were classified as “serious risk.” 

Reasons for this included:

• Prohibited fragrance Butylphenyl Methylproprional (Lilial / BMHCA)
• Prohibited fragrance 3-Cyclohex-3-ene-1-carbaldehyde (HICC)
• Microbiological contamination with, for example, Pseudomonas paraeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus
• Risk of confusion with food products
• Incorrect labeling or missing usage instructions leading to a health hazard

In the Safety Gate, you can filter by type of product, publication date, and type of recall (microbiological/chemical).

Have your products and raw materials regularly checked for microbiological and chemical residues. The experts at the BAV institute will assist you in selecting the test parameters.
