If you spend time on social networks, you can't ignore the"black mask anti-blackhead". Plebiscited by a large number, this product, supposed to purify the skin, is in the news. Indeed, many cases of irritation, burns and allergies have been reported by users.

A real fashion phenomenon, this black product with a gelatinous aspect finds its place on the nose/chin of many faces present on social networks. However, the comments of the various posts related to the use of this product are quite eloquent. Pain and other allergic reactions often return.
The Fédération des entreprises de la beauté has therefore acquired, via an e-commerce site, three products (the most popular) in order to verify the conformity of the labels. However, their actual composition has not been controlled.

FEBEA has become aware of irregularities in the Purifying Peel-off Mask by BuOCEANS, the Black Mask by One 1 X and the Suction Black Mask by Cidbest. These three products do not comply with European regulations as regards labelling, and their arguments are not translated into French, as required by law for all products sold in France.
Finally, some inconsistencies between the list of ingredients and the shelf life of products were pointed out.
These cosmetics would have been made in China.

Failure to comply with regulatory obligations led the FEBEA to report these three products to the competent authorities.

Nevertheless, there are other cosmetics of the same kind, compliant and safe for the consumer. To recognize them, the federation recommends reading the labels carefully.
