Four beauty products no longer allowed to be sold in Malaysia


PUTRAJAYA: The National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Division (NPRA) of the Health Ministry has cancelled the notification of four cosmetic products because they were found to contain scheduled poisons and thus are no longer allowed to be sold in Malaysia.

Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said the four products are BL Skincare Day Cream 1 which was found to contain hydroquinone and tretinoin, while the other three products are Biela Beauty Glowing Night Cream, BL Skincare Day Cream 2 and BL Skincare Night Cream respectively, which contained mercury.
