Hey guys, it's Tina here, welcome back to my channel. A really quick video for me today, um
I recently read an article that 8 Korean beauty brands have recalled some of their products because they contain high levels of
metal. I will link the article below
so you guys can see which brands are affected. But some of the brands,
I actually use including Etude House 3 C,
E, and Skinfoods so I was like shocked to find this out.
Now in the articles
it says that these products contain high levels of antimony which is a metal it can be found in small traces in water,
food packaging, it's used in batteries to last, and the ancient Egyptians
actually used it with their black eye makeup as coal. This element can be found in a lot of everyday products,
but in makeup their legal amount is 10 micrograms per gram and the products that have been recalled can contain up to
14.3, so it's higher than the legal limit so a lot of these brands have made
announcements and apologies publicly and said that they will refund the products if you've bought them or replace them.
So I just need you guys to just check
that you don't own any of these, and if you do, you need to throw them out or go back to the store and get
it exchanged or refunded or something, because these are dangerous products that you should not be putting on your face.
Some of the articles I read, it states that in low levels, exposure to antimony can cause headaches, dizziness, and even depression.
High levels of exposure can cause lung, eye, and skin irritations, and another article even said this element is
suspected to causing cancer, so let's take no risks and make sure we throw all these products out
so I'm just gonna list and show you guys which products have been recalled and
affected, so make sure you pay attention. In the brand Aritaum their concealers have been affected, this includes their full cover concealer
sticks in light beige and natural beige, and their cream
concealers in light beige, and natural beige, and olive green, and pink. From Etude House you need to throw away the AC clean up mild
concealer and
Drawing Eyebrow Duo in number 3 grey brown
XTM Style Homme, this is for men and it's the concealer stick, the 2.2 gram concealer stick, this has been affected.
From Black Monstar, their black erasing pen the 2.2 gram, men face concealer has been affected.
From Skeeter the spot concealer for men has been affected,
Skinfoods, their cherry full lip liner in bruised cherry,
From 3CE their slim eyebrow pencil chestnut brown has been recalled.
From Makeheal, two of their brow pencils: BR0203 and YL0801.
With some of the products, I mentioned only some batches have been affected
I think it's best to just contact the brand or go back to the store that you bought it,
just to check and make sure because you can never be too safe.
And it is actually quite scary because some of these brands are really big and reputable, and I've used them before, so it's just scary
to know that you know, sometimes you can be putting stuff on your face that can be really harmful to you.
So I just wanted to get this information out to you guys, make sure you share this with any of your friends or family
that you know use these brands or products, just get them to
research, contact the brand, get an exchange, refund, or throw them out. Anyways that is it from me,
just wanted to give you guys a heads up other than that have a lovely day,
and I will see you guys in my next video. Bye
