Anti-deception network news: Recently, in response to the problems found in the monitoring and supervision of adverse reactions of cosmetics, the State Food and Drug Administration issued a notice on stopping the operation of cosmetics such as Honey Zhiquan Qin Detox Skin Day Cream.
According to the circular, the State Food and Drug Administration instructed the Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan and Guangdong Provincial Drug Administrations to investigate the cosmetics with the name of "Mizhiquan Qintong Skin Renewal Set 3-piece Set" and the names marked in the box as "Mizhiquan Qintong Skin Rejuvenating Day Cream", "Mizhiquan Qintong Skin Rejuvenating Night Cream" and "Mizhiquan Qintong Skin Rejuvenating Soft Dew".
After investigation, the above-mentioned cosmetics currently sold on the market, the entrusting parties Changsha Xi and Win Daily Necessities Trading Co., Ltd. and the entrusted production enterprise Guangzhou Kikumoto Biotechnology Co., Ltd. indicated on their labels have denied that they have produced and sold the products.
In view of the above situation, in order to ensure the safety of public cosmetics and purify the cosmetics market, in accordance with the Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Cosmetics, the State Drug Administration requires the drug supervision and administration departments of various provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) to order relevant business enterprises to immediately stop operating the above cosmetics, investigate their purchase inspection records in accordance with the law, and if illegal acts are found, they will be seriously investigated and punished according to law; if they are suspected of committing crimes, they will be transferred to the public security organs according to law.
The American Trading Company learned that the Mizhi Spring, which was notified by the State Food and Drug Administration to stop selling, was somewhat "not simple".
On the Zhihu Q&A platform, someone once asked "Has anyone used HONECS Mizhi Spring?" Do you contain hormones? ”
In the answer below, a user named "Little Dolphin Who Loves to Laugh" said, "It is really powerful when it is used at the beginning, and after it is used up, the skin is like an egg with a shell peeled, white, tender and bright... Use for more than a month and a half is risky. Some people use this cosmetics for half a year, or even a year..... Hormone-dependent dermatitis appears. ”
Coincidentally, at the end of last year, Jiangxi Television's "City Scene" column reported such news: Ms. Liu bought a set of whitening products for her daughter online, nominally "Mizhiquan soaked skin resurfacing set". After two months, her daughter told her that her whole body was in severe pain.
Ms. Liu took her daughter to a renal biopsy in a top three hospital in the province, only to find that her daughter had a first-stage membranous nephropathy. The test found that Ms. Liu's daughter had a urine mercury content of 100 micrograms per liter, which was 10 times the limit value, and Ms. Liu herself was found to have high urine mercury.

Subsequently, Ms. Liu sent the cosmetics used for examination and found that the mercury exceeded the standard very seriously, according to Ms. Liu, the night cream in the box exceeded the standard by more than 10,000 times, and the daily cream and rubbing dew exceeded the standard by thousands of times.
In response to this situation, the reporter of the "City Scene" column contacted the customer service of Changsha Xi and Win Daily Necessities Trading Co., Ltd., the manufacturer who entrusted the production of the product, and the other party said that the online purchase was not after-sales, "because the online is not a formal channel to take goods from us, we only dock with the offline beauty salon." ”
Ms. Liu contacted the Changsha Market Supervision Department to make a complaint, and the feedback was that the company in Changsha said it had stopped selling the product in 2019. However, Ms. Liu found that there are still offline stores selling the product, and the company's customer service also said that the product can be bought offline.
Not only that, when the reporter contacted the manufacturer guangzhou Kikumoto Biotechnology Co., Ltd. indicated on the product packaging, the other party said that it had never produced this product again.
The Us trading company inquiry found that Taobao did not have a "Mizhiquan" brand flagship store. However, many Mizhiquan-related products are still sold in Taobao C stores.
Mizhi spring balance repair energy water claims to be able to "repair the big red face", "repair hormonal skin", "repair sensitive dermatitis", "fade redness and itch relief", etc., and the publicity of these medical effects has exceeded the scope of the claim of cosmetic efficacy, which is false propaganda. Ironically, in the Taobao "Baby Details" page, the Consumption Reminder of the State Food and Drug Administration is impressively marked on the top.
If the brand can blame the responsibility for false publicity on the products sold on Taobao to third-party Taobao sellers, then the publicity on the official WeChat public account of Mizhiquan "sells" the brand side.
The American Trading Company noted that the main account of the official WeChat public account of Mizhiquan is Changsha Xi and Win Daily Necessities Trading Co., Ltd., and according to the content released by the public account, the company has used the WeChat public account to publish advertisements for products suspected of false publicity.
In an article titled "Warm Congratulations on the Success of the Serum Albumin Face Set for filing with the State Food and Drug Administration", the company claimed that the Serum Albumin Face Set has the effect of repairing damage and smoothing wrinkles, and is "healthier than medical beauty and whitening". In addition, the brand claims to be able to penetrate deep into the skin and promote the clarity of skin.
However, according to the filing pictures provided by the company, the filing type of this set of skin care products is ordinary cosmetics. According to the regulations on the supervision and administration of cosmetics, it is declared that the anti-wrinkle, whitening and other effects are special-purpose cosmetics, and the efficacy test is required. Ordinary cosmetics cannot claim to have special-purpose cosmetic effects, otherwise it is false propaganda.
In another article, the company claimed that the Honey Chi Spring Sea Fennel Children's Face Set uses plant stem cell culture activation technology and labels plant stem cell extracts after sea fennel, which is suspected of misleading consumers.
In September last year, the State Food and Drug Administration published a popular science article pointing out that "stem cell cosmetics" is a pseudo-concept, "at present, stem cell technology in the medical field is still in the clinical research stage." In the clinical study of stem cells filed with the health department, there are no research on stem cells in beauty and anti-aging. ”
It is understood that such exaggerated and false publicity of Mizhiquan products mostly flow into the beauty salon channel and are sold to consumers through offline means, and the joining information of these offline Mizhiquan beauty salons is even more surprising.
On a merchants website, the American Trading Company inquired about a piece of joining information about Mizhiquan. The information on the webpage shows that the total investment of Mizhiquan is more than 138,800.
The specific franchise investment costs show that the franchise fees of Mizhiquan vary according to the first, second, and third-tier cities, and the basic cost of joining the third-tier cities is 125,000 yuan, plus the cost of decoration, store rent, etc., a total of 138,800 yuan; in the first-tier cities, the basic cost of joining the franchise has risen to 149,000 yuan, and the total investment of the cost expenses has reached 166,600 yuan.
In the introduction of the franchise, it is introduced, "Entrepreneurship is to make money, only high profits can be called a good project... The Mizhiquan brand in the cosmetics industry is such a good project that can make money! ”
Today, this introduction is chilling. It can make money and make high profits, but it depends on these disgraceful means and methods.
