Anvisa gives the green light for 934 hair ointments to return to shop windows

According to the latest information from Anvisa (National Health Surveillance Agency), about 934 hair modeling ointments may be banned and removed from the shelves soon. The disclosure of the possible ban took place last Monday, the 20th. The measure is a response to the negative impact of the product and the various reports of temporary blindness in those who used the ointment.

Anvisa carried out investigations in the cases and found high doses of the chemical Cetearate-10. As a result, health agents took measures to remove hair ointments from the shelves and ban the sale of several brands after cases of damage to health.

Anvisa releases only THESE products

In all, 634 products were seized that did not have the release of the Sanitary Surveillance, resulting in the banning of all national and imported ointments for use. The restriction gradually increased until all hair ointments were temporarily discontinued.

Products that still have high doses of the chemical component will not be released to return to the market. According to Anvisa, only ointments that have up to 20% Cetearate-10 will be allowed. In a note, Anvisa informs that it will continue to monitor the products to prevent similar cases from happening again.

There have been reports of temporary blindness, as mentioned, and eye burns after customers wet hair containing the product. In the state of Pernambuco, more than 200 cases of people who had problems due to the hair product were registered.

Despite the ban having occurred recently due to the significant increase in cases, last year there were already records of temporary blindness.
