Cosmetics are very important for girls, because when they are used in the body, they attach great importance to safety. But recently, South Korea's food and drug safety department found that the heavy metal antimony of eight cosmetics companies in South Korea exceeded the standard. If you are also using Korean cosmetics, come to see if there are any brands you are using.
What about heavy metals in Korean cosmetics
Recently, South Korea's food and drug safety department said that 13 products of 8 cosmetics enterprises including South Korea's amorepacific have been found to exceed the standard of heavy metal 'antimony', including concealer, Concealer stick and eyebrow pen of South Korea's amorepacific brands like aridane and Yidi's house, Cherry Lip Liner of skin friendly brands, etc.
The illegal products are all produced by the same Korean cosmetics factory around January this year.
At present, cosmetics companies such as South Korea's amore Pacific have stopped selling and recycled products with heavy metal antimony exceeding the standard, and returned and refunded them.
It is understood that the relevant products have not been officially circulated in the overseas market.
A citizen in Seoul, South Korea, said that yidizhiwu and Si Qinfu are well-known brands in South Korea, so they have been using their products. Now there is a problem, and they feel that their product trust has declined.
Another citizen in Seoul, South Korea, said that these products have been used by consumers, and even if they are returned, they are useless. Enterprises should make good products from the beginning.
Affected by this incident, at the end of this afternoon, the share price of South Korea's amore Pacific Cosmetics Co., Ltd. fell 1.31%, and the share price of other related cosmetics circulation and manufacturing enterprises also fell by a certain margin.

As soon as the incident happened, Amory Pacific, a cosmetics giant in South Korea, was first put on the wave. The company admitted that some products received from hwasung cosmetics in January were found to be antimony free, including partial manufacturing numbers for four amore cosmetics and two Edie house cosmetics.
Although amore Pacific has apologized and said it would stop selling and recycle the cosmetics in question, East Asia daily pointed out that public opinion was disappointed by the irresponsibility of famous cosmetics companies in quality management.
According to South Korea's "Asia economy" report, the products detected that antimony exceeds the standard include the aritaum full cover Concealer / cream No.1 bright white and No.2 natural color, the AC clear up Concealer in the house of ETI, the hackle eyebrow pencil No.3 gray brown, XTM style home concealer, black monster black erasing Concealer, skeda men's concealer, skin food cherry lip liner, 3ce ultra-fine eyebrow pencil ා chestnut brown, makehead naked Make up ultra-fine eyebrow pencil br0203 and other 13 products.
