The National Food , Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC has sealed an illegal cosmetic production facility, Shine Shine Skincare, located in Agege, Lagos State. The enforcement operation uncovered the illicit production of bleaching cosmetics falsely marketed as “organic” and safe for use, despite being manufactured under poor Good Manufacturing Practices.
At the facility, operatives discovered a range of unregistered products, including Peeling White Scrub, Glass Scrub Wash, Antiaging Radiant Glow, Customized Whitening Black Soap, 10X Customized Native Soap, 5D Instant Whitening Soap, Yellow Tone Whitening Body Cream, Exfoliation Soap, and Customized Body Cream.
Investigations revealed that such deceptively formulated products often contain unsafe levels of toxic or banned substances, including corticosteroid-based bleaching agents, which can cause severe health risks such as skin thinning, delayed wound healing, and increased vulnerability to injury.
NAFDAC warns that these unwholesome cosmetic products pose serious public health risks and urges Nigerians to remain vigilant when purchasing cosmetic and other regulated products. Investigations into the illegal outfit are ongoing, and appropriate sanctions will follow.
