Children's makeup "small" problem requires social "big" governance

"After applying the eye shadow, and then apply my favorite pink lipstick, you can go out to play!" Xiaoyi in grade 3 is "makeup" in the mirror. Although she is only 9 years old this year, she learns to make makeup. There is a model.

The "cosmetics" used by Xiaoyi is not a cosmetics used by adults, but the "children's cosmetics" bought by the toy shop next to the school. In a small plastic box, there are eye shadows, blush, lipsticks, and powder. The variety is complete. Essence However, if you get close to smell, you will find that these so -called "eye shadows" and "lipstick" have a inferior flavor, like the taste of chocolate mixed rubber puree, smelling for a long time or even a little uncomfortable.

From the content of the content, this box of products should be cosmetics. From the perspective of packaging, the product name of this box is "XX Beautiful Makeup Box" but there is no relevant component introduction. I saw a 3C certification sign.

3C's CCC certification standards are a product qualified assessment system implemented by the Chinese government in accordance with the relevant agreement and international traffic rules in accordance with the World Trade Organization and International Terminal Rules to protect the safety of the life of consumers, protecting the environment, and protecting national security. However, it should be noted that the 3C logo is not a quality sign. It is just the most basic safety certification.

For example, toys are within the range of 3C certification directory.

According to the regulations, all companies that produce cosmetics are qualified only by obtaining cosmetics production licenses.

A cosmetics must have a "makeup" name, which is a license label obtained by the drug regulatory department.

Without the "makeup" name, it proves that the product is not a real cosmetics.

Wind -up network platform

Xiaoyi's parents are usually busy, paying insufficient attention to Xiaoyi, and do not think that little girls like to make up too much problems, so they did not have too much restriction on Xiaoyi. The reason why the 9 -year -old Xiaoyi is "skilled" is also due to the small video teaching on social platforms. It is a great fun of Xiaoyi.

According to media reports, on the Internet platforms such as Xiaohongshu, B, fast hands, Douyin, and good -looking videos, a group of children who have been under the gimmicks of "the smallest beauty blogger on the entire network" and "follow Mengwa to learn makeup" appear. Beauty blogger. In the video, there are even a 5 -year -old girl, wearing off -shoulder dressing, rolling with mature hairstyles, skilled the upper layer of foundation and eye shadow, recommended with crispy doll sounds, and blinked in the camera. These "little beauty bloggers" account published such content attached chain to sell related products, and guide consumers to buy from the side.

Experts point out that children's skin structure and physiological characteristics are very different from adults. They are mainly manifested in thin skin, less hair, less sweaty glands, abundant subcutaneous blood vessels, and weak ability to resist external stimuli. Use their children's cosmetics.

However, the "children's makeup" popular on the Internet platform has not been registered and recorded by cosmetics. Only the basic 3C certification can not guarantee that it is safe and harmless to apply it to children's skin.

Strict policy supervision

The supervision of children's cosmetics has always been the focus of my country's cosmetics supervision. In order to ensure the safety of children's makeup, in recent years, the state has successively introduced policies and regulations to strictly regulate children's cosmetics.

According to the Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Cosmetics, cosmetics refer to the surface of the skin, hair, nails, lips and other human surfaces such as rubbing, spraying or other similar methods. product. The product applied to the surface of the human body is cosmetics, and it should be managed in accordance with the regulations of cosmetics.

In the definition of children's cosmetics, the "Guide to Children's Cosmetics Declaration and Review" clearly states that children's cosmetics refer to cosmetics used by children under 12 years of age (including 12 years old). All cosmetics that are explicitly applied to children should be declared in accordance with the requirements; cosmetics that are not explicitly displayed for children, their product packaging should not be displayed or hints for children with cosmetics.

In terms of ensuring safety, the "Cosmetic Safety Evaluation Technical Guidance (2021 Edition)" issued by the State Drug Administration mentioned that cosmetics microbial pollution is usually comes from raw materials, product formulation and filling process, and consumer use links. Children's cosmetics, eye / lip cosmetics should pay special attention to microbial pollution.

At the same time, the "Cosmetic Safety Technical Specification (2015 Edition)" requires that the limits of children's cosmetics microorganisms cannot be greater than 500CFU/G or 500CFU/ml, which is significantly lower than 1000CFU/G or 1000CFU/ml of other cosmetics. In February 2021, the State Drug Administration stated in the "Management of Cosmetics Registration Recording Data Management": "The products claiming to be used by infants and children should submit the test report and product safety assessment report at the same time."

It is worth noting that the factory conditions and hygiene of cosmetics manufacturers often determine the microbial testing indicators in the product. The more irregular factory buildings and workshops, the more prone to the microorganisms such as bacteria in the product exceeded the standard. The specification requires that the microbial indicators of children's cosmetics are less than the limit of adult cosmetics indicators, indicating that children's cosmetics manufacturers should have a higher standard production environment. However, many toy production workshops may not meet such advanced environmental requirements.

On December 9, 2021, the website of the State Drug Administration released "Do not use toys as children's cosmetics" pointed out that products that simply apply to toys such as dolls are not cosmetics, and they should be managed in accordance with the regulations of toys or other products. If a product complies with the definition of cosmetics, whether it is sold separately or sells with other products such as toys, this product is cosmetics and must be managed in accordance with cosmetics related regulations. In addition, it is also pointed out that infants and young children under the age of 3 should not use "makeup", otherwise it may affect the body because it contains heavy metals. Strict cracking down on violations

In fact, in response to the hidden safety hazards in the field of children's cosmetics, the country and provinces and cities have continued to increase supervision and organize various special inspections and rectification actions. From March to September 2021, the State Drug Administration organized a special inspection of children's cosmetics nationwide, comprehensively investigated hidden dangers of children's cosmetics, and severely cracking down on various types of illegal acts. In order to strengthen online sales of cosmetics supervision and management, and severely crack down on the use of online sales of illegal cosmetics, from October 2021 to October 2022, the State Drug Administration once again organized a special cosmetics "online net network and offline clear source" special project. action.

According to reports, on May 18th, the Ronggui Market Supervision and Administration Institute of Shunde District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province, has clues to the stores in the area of ​​the area under the jurisdiction. Special action. Law enforcement officials checked a total of more than 2 large -scale merchants, 4 maternal and infant shops, and 10 daily grocery stores and stationery stores. After the inspection, it was found that a mother and child shop was suspected of operating illegal children's makeup products. Law enforcement officers detained the above -mentioned illegal products and filed a case for investigation according to law.

On March 16, the official website of the People's Government of Chenghai District, Shantou City, Guangdong Province issued a special rectification notice. Three companies with complete certificates will conduct law enforcement spot checks and will be dealt with according to law according to law.

On July 30, 2021, the Xiamen Market Supervision Bureau of Fujian Province has filed 17 cases of illegal acts such as unlicensed production, sales expired, and labels without Chinese labels, and 5 of children's cosmetics. Among them, the value of the case of unlicensed children's cosmetics exceeded 700,000 yuan, which was included in the supervision and office of the Provincial Pharmaceutical Supervision Bureau, which played a good deterrent effect.

E -commerce platform

In addition to offline toy stores, supermarket stores, maternal and infant shops, "children's makeup" on the e -commerce platform is even more dazzling. These products often emphasize the characteristics of "safe and non -toxic, colorful and easy to remove, and washing without residual", but except for 3C certification, there is no cosmetic registration filing information.

The chaos of excessive publicity and fake cosmetics has also attracted the attention of the network platform. Each platform has issued relevant norms to strictly manage children's cosmetics.

On April 21, Douyin e -commerce officially took effect "[Implementation and Publicity of Children's Cosmetics Products] Implementation Rules". The focus on the scope of applicable, product release, and publicity specifications: clear and detailed rules for children's cosmetics. This detail clearly states that only 3C -certified children's makeup toys are allowed to be placed under the category of domestic toys, and they must not be promoted as children's cosmetics, and they must not be promoted to make makeup of minors.

On May 12th, the "Management of Taobao Cosmetics Industry" was adjusted and released to make stricter regulations on the supervision and publicity requirements of children's cosmetics. This specification is clear that children's cosmetics must be published in specific categories, and at the same time include combined products that include children's cosmetics and makeup toys. If they are published in the "Children's Makeup toys" category, they must be truthfully and accurately fill in the "whether children's cosmetics" attributes. For children's cosmetics, the exclusive sign "Little Gold Shield" needs to be marked.

Call for social co -governance

my country is a large country for toys and exports. There are many toy manufacturers and mixed. This is one of the reasons why toys fake cosmetics are still banned. Although the investigation and punishment of the state regulatory authorities has been increasing, limited law enforcement resources are difficult to manage all illegal behaviors, and ensure that children's makeup safety requires the whole society to work together.

Registers and recorders of children's cosmetics shall strictly fulfill their responsibility for quality and safety, and enhance the quality and safety awareness of production and operation practitioners and awareness of integrity and trustworthiness; operators should pay attention to product category and corresponding qualification review, and make necessary reminders and guidance to consumers to make consumers. , Can't induce consumers to use children's cosmetics; as parents who are most concerned about children's safety, they need to be more careful about children's supplies, and resolutely do not buy counterfeit and shoddy products. product.

I believe that with the joint efforts of the whole society, children's makeup safety will be better guaranteed.
