Why counterfeit cosmetics are problematic:

  1. Counterfeit cosmetics often contain undisclosed and potentially harmful ingredients including toxic substances such as lead, mercury and arsenic.
  2. They are typically produced in unregulated and unsanitary conditions, without adhering to safety standards.
  3. They cause severe allergic reactions and skin problems due to the presence of undisclosed ingredients or the absence of necessary safety testing.
  4. Counterfeit eye makeup products, such as mascara, eyeliner, or eyeshadow, can contain harmful bacteria that can lead to eye infections.
  5. These cosmetics often lack the same performance and quality as genuine products.
  6. The production and sale of counterfeit cosmetics contribute to illicit trade and organized crime.
