　　 emollient water Did you fill it directly with water?

Recently, the cosmetics of four brands Yayang, Evian, Vichy and Richuquan were criticized by the British media, saying that their products sold in the British market, although claimed to provide a refreshing feeling to the skin, most of the ingredients are only water, and the price is expensive. The products of these brands have also been sold in large quantities in the Chinese market. When the report was published, consumers were immediately shocked.

The reporter found out from the "No. 1 Store", the largest online supermarket in China, that a 150ml bottle of Yayang "Shuhuo Huoquan Water Spray" toner costs 92 yuan, a 300ml bottle of Evian "Natural Mineral Water Spray" costs 54 yuan, a 300ml bottle of Vichy "Runquan Soothing Spray" costs 160 yuan, and a 300ml bottle of Evoquan "Soothing Spray" costs 115 yuan.

Take "natural mineral water spray" of Evian as an example, the average price of this product is 18 yuan per 100 ml, while the price of "natural mineral water" of Evian is 9.6 yuan per 500 ml, and the average price is 1.92 yuan per 100 ml. The two are also filled with Evian mineral water, but the price difference is nearly 10 times. Compared with other brands, 500 ml mineral water generally sells for 1 yuan, which is nearly 90 times higher for every 100 ml.

Manufacturer's reply: this water is unusual

The official microblog of Yayang claims that Yayang Live spring water The unique soothing, calming and anti irritating natural properties of the drug have significant therapeutic effects on skin inflammation, atopic dermatitis, and other skin problems. Yayang live spring water is not cosmetic water, nor is it a common mineral water on the market. It is the only live spring water that is aseptically filled directly from the source of live spring.

The PR manager in China of Pierfaber Company affiliated to Yayang especially emphasized the medical effect of its live spring water spray products, "Our water is not a cosmetic water in the ordinary sense. In the clinical test of Yayang Active Water, we have conducted experiments on many types of skin diseases such as sensitive skin, allergic dermatitis and eczema, and all have relevant medical data." Yayang officials also announced that Yayang Huoquan Spa, located in southern France, It is by virtue of the dermatological therapeutic effect of living spring water that it has become a well-known European dermatological spa care center. When the reporter wanted to ask about the price of makeup water, the manager refused to interview.

Evian, who was recently listed on the black list of unqualified food and cosmetics imported by the AQSIQ, has not responded to this matter. L'Oreal (China) Co., Ltd., which owns the brands of Lifuquan and Weizi, replied, "The pure hot spring water in the spray products of Lifuquan and Weizi comes from the unique hot spring in France, which contains unique and rich minerals, and has been proved to have physiotherapeutic effect on human skin by clinical tests under the supervision of many dermatologists."

According to Item 3, Article 8 of the Measures for the Administration of Cosmetic Advertisements in China, the contents that promote medical functions or use medical terms are prohibited from appearing in cosmetics advertisements. More people doubt that according to the description of cosmetics in the Regulations on the Administration of Cosmetics Labeling - "chemical industrial products or fine chemical products", it is still questionable whether Huoquan Spray is a cosmetics in the strict sense.

Spring filling is "non mainstream"

Makeup lotion should not be completely denied

A lawyer from a Beijing law firm believes that consumers need to be cautious about this issue. "This is a matter of fact first, followed by a legal issue. We don't know how the British media confirm the facts. On the premise that the situation can be confirmed, the best way is to wait for the notice from the authority." The reporter learned from the Beijing Administration for Industry and Commerce that, These products have not been taken off the market in Beijing.

Industry experts also claim that this does not mean that ordinary tap water or distilled water can be sprayed directly on the face to achieve the effect of makeup water.

"I don't agree with some people's argument that make-up water is useless." product The manager said that, "Although more than 85% of makeup water is refined water, it should not be regarded as water, but as a water care product. It is necessary to use it as the second step care after cleaning the skin. After the skin is smeared with makeup water, the moisture content of the cuticle will increase, and it will be better to use other care products, which is why makeup water has been used continuously."

"In fact, most of the cosmetics sold on the market are not directly filled with water," said the executive deputy general manager of a cosmetics company in Shanghai. The reporter learned that the common formula of makeup water includes various plant extracts such as marigold, goldenrod and honeysuckle, as well as additives such as alcohol. The makeup water directly filled with spring water is considered as "non mainstream".
