17 June 2010 The press release is very brief. He simply announces:"The laboratory shall proceed, in agreement with the the withdrawal of lot 518 L per 10/2011 of the cosmetic product known as ZNP pain dermatological because of its zinc pyrithione content, which does not comply with the legislation in force.

It was added that the A preservative with antibacterial and antifungal activity is mainly present in cosmetics for its antidandruff and anti-seborrheic properties. It is endowed with a strong irritant character for the skin and the eyes, would have a notable sensitizing potential. We also wonder about its toxicity, animal experiments having revealed a teratogenic effect (causing malformations of the embryo) and reprotoxic. It is therefore subject to restrictions, in particular in terms of maximum permitted concentrations, in cosmetics in Europe.
