The reporter consulted SK-II, CPB, Shiseido,
Shu Uemura, Kao, Wang In,
Customer service for many Japanese cosmetics brands such as Kose
Customer service all said
The products sold in China comply with relevant Chinese standards
Kao, a well-known Japanese brand, responded that goods imported through the official channels of Kao China's companies will be subject to radioactive material related tests, and have also passed the test of Chinese customs, and only products that meet national standards can enter the customs, so the purchased goods can be used normally. "We will produce in accordance with the relevant provisions of Chinese national laws and meet the relevant national testing requirements, so you can use it with confidence." The above customer service suggests that if consumers are really not at ease, they can purchase through officially designated authorized channels to ensure the safety of goods. It also told reporters, "Kao Group has multiple manufacturing plants in Japan, and there has been no abnormality in the area where each factory is located. We also ensure that there are no problems with the environment and products in each Kao factory. ”
In addition, the customer service of the well-known Japanese brand MUJI responded that the existing products are all produced before and have not been affected by the discharge of nuclear contaminated water, and what will happen in the future, because the customer service is not well understood, so it cannot be guaranteed, but in general, there will be no impact. The customer service introduced that most of MUJI's products are not produced in Japan, and their origin is not only in Japan, but the company is Japanese. If consumers are really worried, they can identify the choice by marking the origin on the outer packaging of the product, and then make a purchase, and the online shopping channel will also indicate the origin information on the detail page.
When the reporter asked the well-known Japanese brand SK-II, its customer service responded that the origin of SK-II products is located in Shiga Prefecture, western Japan, far from the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan, and no radiation hazards have been detected in the area around the factory, so SK-II products have not been affected by the discharge of nuclear-contaminated water, and consumers can use and buy with confidence. The above-mentioned customer service also said that the water source used in the manufacturing process of the product is fresh water, which has been strictly treated and further evolved by advanced water treatment technology, and water quality testing is also carried out every day to ensure that all water resources used meet the standards of high-quality water resources. All SK-II products and ingredients undergo rigorous product quality and safety evaluations before they are marketed. "At present, we have actively tested SK-II products in accordance with national testing standards in third-party testing institutions accredited by the qualification of inspection and testing institutions (CMA) and the China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment (CNAS), and we can purchase and use our products with confidence."
Shu Uemura's customer service also said that Japan's discharge of nuclear contaminated water will not affect the product, although the production area of makeup products is mainly on the island of Japan, but the products are produced in many places around the world, and all strictly abide by the EHS (Health Safety and Environment Integration) management system and quality management series of measures, consumers can buy and use with confidence. Kose customer service also said that the group's products are produced in Japan and imported to China through formal channels. All products on sale comply with China's benchmarks. "Kose not only ensures the safety of raw materials, but also produces products under quality control to guarantee product quality."
In addition, CPB customer service, a subsidiary of Shiseido, a well-known Japanese brand, responded that its products sold in China meet national safety and quality standards.
Innisfree customer service responded that some products are imported from South Korea, some products are made in China, and the raw materials and machines are all Korean.
Although Japanese cosmetics brands have "proved their innocence", the reporter noticed that on social platforms, consumers have returned the purchased Japanese cosmetics. A consumer said that two days ago, he placed an order for cosmetics at a duty-free shop on Sanya Outlying Islands, found that they were all Japanese goods, and decisively returned them.
Previously, Japan's Tokyo Electric Power Company conducted a trial operation of the nuclear-contaminated water discharge equipment of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, which triggered a wave of Japanese makeup "returns".
In June this year, Shanghai Customs replied to the question "whether cosmetics and skin care products from Japan will be subject to nuclear radiation inspection", according to the requirements of the General Administration of Customs for nuclear radiation monitoring, through fixed nuclear radiation monitoring systems and other equipment, imported goods, baggage items, postal items, etc. will be monitored by nuclear radiation. At the same time, according to the attributes and sources of goods, targeted risk analysis, control inspections, laboratory testing, etc., are carried out, and efforts are made to prevent the entry of goods with excessive nuclear radiation from abroad.
According to media reports, data from the General Administration of Customs shows that since May this year, cosmetics imports from Japan have begun to decline significantly. Among them, the import value in June fell by 8.4% year-on-year; The value of imports in July fell sharply by 30% year-on-year. Regarding the question of whether it is safe to buy seafood and cosmetics imported from Japan, Lin Yongxin, director and associate researcher of the Maritime Silk Road Research Institute of the South China Sea Research Institute, said that the discharge of contaminated water from Japan will pose a threat to food safety and marine ecology, and lead to an increase in people's psychological risks. On the one hand, nuclear sewage is directly discharged into the sea, and marine organisms absorb and accumulate radioactive materials from the environment through metabolism, becoming carriers and disseminators of radioactive materials. Organisms in nuclear-contaminated waters may also migrate or drift to carry pollutants into non-polluted seas and pass through the food chain to human tables. Cosmetic safety will also be at risk due to the possible contamination of farmed algae and sea mud. On the other hand, the discharge of Japan's nuclear contaminated water into the sea is unpredictable and uncontrollable, which may cause great harm to human health. More importantly, the discharge of nuclear sewage into the sea could cause ecological disasters. Regardless of Japan's planned emission cycle, the radioactive elements contained in a single emission alone have a long half-life, such as carbon-14, which has a half-life of 5730 years. If these radioactive materials enter sediments or marine organisms, the cumulative effect of cumulative emissions can have longer-lasting and complex effects on marine ecology. In addition, with the movement of seawater, plankton naturally migrate, with a wide range of effects. Experts remind: Try to choose cosmetics made in non-nuclear contaminated areas, Chen Feng, associate researcher at the Institute of Modern Industry of the Guangzhou Academy of Social Sciences, said in an interview that although Japan's beauty industry has always been known for innovation, high quality and attention to detail, he believes that the impact of Japan's nuclear contaminated water discharged into the sea should be viewed more objectively from three perspectives. From the perspective of the Japanese beauty industry, it can take three measures to dispel consumers' concerns: First, increase transparency and strengthen information disclosure. Increase product transparency with more detailed ingredient information, manufacturing processes, and relevant test reports. This helps consumers understand the origin and safety of the product. The second is to provide third-party authoritative certification. Consumer trust can be increased by obtaining independent third-party certification. The third is to disclose monitoring data. Where feasible, provide data on environmental and water quality monitoring around the place where the product is manufactured to demonstrate the safety of the product.
