La un deceniu după interzicerea mercurului în cosmetice, produsele toxice pentru albirea pielii nu au dispărut încă de pe piaţă

A recent study revealed that over 20 skin whitening products containing mercury are still available on platforms like Amazon, Temu, and TikTok Shop, despite regulatory efforts to ban them. These products, which can severely harm health, are often disguised under misleading names. The World Health Organization emphasizes that there is no safe level of mercury exposure, yet the demand for quick skin whitening results drives consumers to these dangerous options. Regulatory bodies are struggling to enforce bans, as sellers find ways to circumvent restrictions. Companies like Amazon and TikTok claim to be taking action against these products, but many remain listed.
