The complaint rate for children’s cosmetics is high. As a rule, the use of banned dyes and preservatives led to a total of fourteen sales bans. (symbol image)

There were a total of 21 complaints (68 percent), the cantonal laboratory announced on Friday. In another three samples, the sellers voluntarily stopped offering the product after investigation. As in recent years, nail polishes are mainly responsible for the high complaint rate, the statement said.

The cantonal laboratory justifies the sales bans with unauthorized dyes and preservatives. The products examined come from department stores, toy stores in the cantons of Basel-Stadt and Aargau and Swiss online stores.

The cantonal laboratory comes to the conclusion that children’s cosmetics ‘far too often’ do not meet the legal requirements. This is despite the fact that market controls have been taking place for more than a decade. According to the communiqué, individual manufacturers have noticed improvements over the years. Further checks will be necessary in the future. (SDA)
