Products involved are removed from the shelves Similar products are still available for sale
According to Tianyan, the manufacturer of the product involved in the "big head doll" is Fujian Ouai Baby and Child Health Care Products Co., Ltd. According to the report of the "Ouai Bacteriostatic Cream" incident disposal working group in Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province, after testing by a third-party institution with testing qualifications, it has been confirmed that the recalled products involved, "Evrin Multi-effect Special Bacteriostatic Cream" and "Happy Forest A Touch of Shu Baby Skin Bacteriostatic Cream" contain clobetasol propionate, and the company is suspected of producing and selling counterfeit and inferior products.
It is reported that the company involved has obtained a sanitation license for the production enterprise of disinfection products, and its bacteriostatic cream products are all approved by the elimination number.
However, according to the "Disinfection Management Measures", disinfection products mainly play a role in killing and eliminating pathogenic microorganisms, can not appear or imply a therapeutic effect, and the elimination of products does not have the effect of regulating the physiological functions of the human body, neither claimed to have efficacy, nor has efficacy. The product description in question states that it is "suitable for bacteriostatic and daily care of the skin surface", but its products are neither therapeutic drugs nor cosmetics that can be used daily.
At the same time, the "regular product" test report sent by the company on the national disinfection product online filing information service platform shows that its products have passed the microbial index test and meet the requirements of the "Sanitary Standard for Disposable Sanitary Products GB15979-2002", but there is no hormone-related test, which also makes the inspection of products that illegally add hormones play a side ball.
After the incident, there is no such brand on the e-commerce platform, the reporter visited a number of pharmacies, and did not find these two products for sale, and the pharmacist said that he had not heard of these brands. After the reporter consulted the baby eczema, dry skin and other issues, a pharmacist recommended "Fang Lin Jian Baby Antipruritic Bacteriostatic Cream", about the safety of the product, such as whether it contains antibiotics, hormones, etc., the pharmacist is vague, suggesting that "I am really not at ease, you can see the doctor". The reporter's inquiry found that the approval number of the product is the same as the product involved in the "big head doll", and it is the same as the product of the elimination number.
In addition, through the inquiry of the national disinfection product online filing information service platform and the State Food and Drug Administration non-special cosmetics filing platform, the reporter noted that the company involved had filed a total of 4 products, namely Baby Tree Ouai Brand Bacteriostatic Cream, Darwen Camellia Oil Bacteriostatic Cream, Patti Bebe Baby Bacteriostatic Cream and Belch Baby Tree Evrys Bacteriostatic Cream, and parents also need to pay attention.
Multiple approval numbers coexist and products are difficult to distinguish
Searching for "baby cream eczema" and "baby cream hormone-free" on the e-commerce platform, the products that appear are dazzling, in addition to the elimination of font size products, but also involve makeup font size, mechanical font size and Sinopharm quasi-brand size. The reporter also found that the apricot cream that was previously exposed to illegal addition of hormones and the illegal addition of antibiotics are still available, the former is a consumer product, the latter is a cosmetic product.
It is understood that makeup products are non-special-purpose cosmetics, filed by the drug regulatory authorities, with cleaning, protection, beautification, modification and other functions, suitable for healthy people, but the baby is not in a healthy state when skin problems occur, and makeup products do not have the effect of treatment. Special-purpose cosmetics are special products, which need to be registered with the State Food and Drug Administration, and have functions such as hair breeding, hair removal, breast beauty, freckle removal and sunscreen, and bodybuilding. The product is a disinfection product, approved by the health department, the main effect is sterilization and disinfection, suitable for healthy and special groups, does not have the role of human physiological functions. Mechanical products are medical devices, registered or filed with the drug regulatory authorities, and have the effects of prevention, diagnosis, treatment, supervision, and mitigation.
In fact, the State Food and Drug Administration also has strict regulations on the medical claims of product efficacy. Words such as prescription, medicinal use, treatment, detoxification, anti-sensitization, sterilization, etc., medical terms such as the names of various skin diseases and the names of various diseases, words that express or imply medical effects and effects shall not be used, and the names of medical celebrities, such as Bian Que, Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing, Li Shizhen, etc., are also prohibited words. However, in the advertising promotion of baby cream, marketing terms such as "a touch of comfort, not afraid of wet itching", "eczema dry skin specialization" and "repair of epidermis, a bottle is done" are not uncommon.
It is worth mentioning that after the "big head doll" incident, the health department of the place where the enterprise involved was located transferred the relevant clues to the public security organs, and the public security organs have summoned the main personnel involved in the case of the enterprises involved, and conducted further investigations into the enterprises involved and their products, and strictly investigated and dealt with the enterprises and related personnel involved in accordance with the law.

Take the drug under the guidance of a doctor, there is no need to talk about hormonal discoloration
Guangdong Provincial Maternal and Child Health Hospital Dermatology Department Zhou Allah physician introduced that the general parents said that infant eczema, such as children always in the cheeks, limb joints, trunk, eyelids, pinnacles, behind the ear and other parts of the repeated eczema, itchy sleep and eating, etc., mostly refers to the atopic dermatitis in infancy, with dry, red, itchy and often recurrent as the main features, and sometimes even combined with viruses, bacteria and other germ infections. Genetic, environmental, psychological, and other factors can precipitate atopic dermatitis.
In addition to paying attention to bathing, clothing, food, home environment, etc. to avoid precipitating factors, in terms of prevention and treatment, Dr. Zhou recommends using moisturizing cream or cream with simple ingredients, no fragrance, no alcohol, and no lanolin ingredients, and avoid choosing moisturizers containing animal oils, such as sheep oil, horse oil, etc., natural vegetable oils, such as tea seed oil, olive oil, etc., plant ingredients, such as aloe vera juice, etc., as well as various types of antibacterial creams, repair creams, etc. In general, lotions are suitable for summer and when the skin is mildly dry, and creams or ointments are suitable for winter and when the skin is moderately dry. After bathing, use a dry towel to dry (avoid wiping back and forth) immediately after the body moisture (within 3-5 minutes) apply the lotion, the number of application of moisturizer depends on the dryness of the skin, such as after 2-3 hours after the application of the skin again dry, then apply it in time. It is generally recommended that children use at least 100g per week and adults 250g per week, it is best to adhere to the long-term use of moisturizing products, and continue to use it after dermatitis is relieved to prevent the recurrence of atopic dermatitis.
At the same time, topical glucocorticoids are effective treatment of atopic dermatitis first-line therapy, Dr. Zhou reminded, "parents do not have to worry too much about the side effects of the drug and refuse to use, in general, the doctor will choose different dosage forms and intensity of glucocorticoid preparations according to the child's age, the nature of the lesion, the location and the degree of the disease, in order to quickly and effectively control skin inflammation and reduce symptoms." However, it is not recommended that parents take medicines themselves, or even blindly use various repair creams that add hormone components that are not suitable for children, natural and additive-free eczema creams, bacteriostatic creams, etc. ”
