Author | Recently, the Guangdong Provincial Drug Administration (hereinafter referred to as the Guangdong Food and Drug Administration) issued three information on cosmetics-related administrative punishment decisions.
According to the information of the administrative penalty decision and the number of its cosmetics production license, it is known that there are three enterprises involved, namely Guangzhou Haoxin Fine Chemical Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Guangzhou Haoxin), Guangzhou Meidu Cosmetics Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Guangzhou Meidu), and Guangzhou Hongxinlong Cosmetics Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Guangzhou Hongxinlong).
Among them, the above-mentioned enterprises involved were all revoked by the Guangdong Food and Drug Administration for producing unregistered special cosmetics, and their legal representatives were also banned for life.
On the same day, the three were banned for life, all of them involved in hair dye cream
According to the information of the administrative penalty decision, Guangzhou Haoxin produced a total of 3 batches of unqualified hair dye cream, the products were Haoxin hair dye cream (flax brown) and 2 batches of Haoxin hair dye cream (flax stuffy blue), which were inspected by the Guangdong Food and Drug Administration, and the reason for the disqualification was that the product detected hair dye ingredients, and the product label was inconsistent with the technical requirements stated in the product registration information.

It is reported that none of the above three batches of products involved in the case have been recalled, with a total value of 6,284.94 yuan and a total of 6,245.7 yuan of illegal gains.
Another company fined was Guangzhou Mido. According to the information of the administrative penalty decision, up to now, the company has produced a total of 7 batches of unqualified hair dye cream, the products are Mido hair dye cream YH-11, Mido hair dye cream (gray), Mido hair dye cream QZ-77, 2 batches of Mido hair dye cream (coffee color) and 2 batches of Mido hair dye cream (brown black), the reason for the disqualification is also that the product is found to be a hair dye ingredient, and the product label is inconsistent with the technical requirements stated in the product registration information. Among them, the total value of the products involved in the case was 6,963 yuan, and the illegal gains totaled 1,936.8 yuan.

The third company involved is Guangzhou Hongxinlong. According to the information of the administrative penalty decision, the company produced a total of 2 batches of unqualified hair dye cream, and the products were Hongxinlong hair dye cream (red) and Hongxinlong hair dye cream (purple). Among them, the reason for the unqualified Hongxinlong hair dye cream (red) is that the ingredients of the hair dye detected in the product are inconsistent with the technical requirements stated in the registration information of the product. The reason for the failure of Hongxinlong hair dye cream (purple) is that the product is found to be a hair dye ingredient, and the product label is inconsistent with the technical requirements stated in the product registration information.

It is understood that none of the three batches of products involved in the above case have been recalled, with a total of 4,659.2 yuan of illegal gains and a total value of 4,780 yuan.
It is worth mentioning that the products involved in the case of the above three companies were all judged to be non-compliant with the Safety and Technical Standards for Cosmetics (2015 Edition), and all of them were unregistered special cosmetics.
Based on this, in accordance with Article 59 (2) of the Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Cosmetics, the Guangdong Food and Drug Administration ordered the above three companies to stop the cosmetics business for 6 months, revoke the cosmetics production license, and refuse to handle the cosmetics filing or accept the cosmetics administrative license applications submitted by them within 10 years.
At the same time, the former legal representatives of the three involved enterprises, Chen, Xie and Liu, were banned from engaging in cosmetics production and business activities for life. In addition, the Guangdong Food and Drug Administration also imposed fines of 85,100 yuan and 164,361.4 yuan on Xie and Liu, two corporate legal persons, Guangzhou Meidu and Guangzhou Hongxinlong, respectively.
It is not difficult to find that the three companies involved in the Guangdong Food and Drug Administration were punished because the hair dye cream products they produced were unregistered special cosmetics.
As for the severity of this punishment, an industry insider told Jumei, "This is unprecedented!" ”
Since the new regulations, 21 people have been banned from business, and three types of illegal acts are the focus of "care".
According to incomplete statistics from Jumei, since the implementation of the new regulations in 2021, 21 practitioners from 16 companies in the industry have been banned from business, of which 15 have been banned for life.
Among them, in 2024 alone, there will be 4 cosmetics business entities banned from business, and all of them will be banned for life.
From the perspective of the prohibited property owners, it involves enterprise entities, corporate legal persons, shareholders, and persons in charge of quality and safety.
From the point of view of the reasons for being banned, Jumei found that the following three types of illegal acts are the focus of the "care" of the top punishment:
1. The production of unregistered cosmetics is the key target
As shown in the figure above, a number of companies have been banned for producing unregistered cosmetics, which shows that this illegal act has become a key target of the regulatory authorities.
For example, Guangzhou Tianke Cosmetics Co., Ltd. was revoked from its cosmetics production license, banned from business for 10 years, and banned from business for life because its product sampling inspection did not comply with the regulations and was suspected of producing unregistered special cosmetics.
In addition, Jumei also found that many banned companies are frequent visitors to the cosmetics sampling blacklist, which shows that companies that have been repeatedly fined are more likely to lead to "permanent blackout".
For example, the three companies announced by the Guangdong Food and Drug Administration have been notified and punished for the production of unregistered special cosmetics many times (see details). In the end, all three companies were banned from business for 10 years, and their corporate legal persons were also banned for life.
2. Children's cosmetics are still the top priority of supervision
As can be seen from the figure above, among the 16 companies that have been banned from business, 6 have been "blacked" by supervision for the unlicensed production and illegal addition of children's cosmetics, which shows the importance that the regulatory level attaches to children's cosmetics.
For example, Xiamen Xiangple Daily Chemical Co., Ltd., which was the first in the country to eat a lifetime "ban" fine for legal persons, was punished for producing children's cosmetics without a license.
Guangzhou Zhonghao Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Zhonghao Biotechnology), which is "famous" for the children's "poisonous cream" incident that has attracted widespread attention in the industry in 2023, can be seen from public information that it has been administratively punished three times in the past year. The total fine is 1.265 million yuan, and the reasons for the punishment include the production of cosmetics without a license or beyond the scope, and the use of prohibited raw materials to produce children's cosmetics. (See details)
3. Fraud and dishonesty will face heavy penalties
For companies that commit fraud, they will be heavily fined by the regulatory authorities.
For example, Guangzhou Tianke Cosmetics Co., Ltd., whose cosmetics production license was revoked in August 2023, is suspected of producing unregistered special cosmetics, and at the same time is suspected of providing false materials to conceal the true situation and denying that it has produced the products involved. This is the first case in which a corporate legal person has been banned for life for "allegedly providing false materials to conceal the true situation and denying the production of the products involved in the case" after the implementation of the new regulations.
There are various indications that the regulatory authorities are becoming more and more stringent in dealing with key violations in the cosmetics industry, and the cosmetics industry is entering a stage of strict supervision. While curbing the chaos in the industry, this has undoubtedly sounded the alarm for some enterprises that want to commit crimes against the wind.
