The ISP issued an alert on March 5, 2025, regarding the sale and promotion of cosmetic products without sanitary authorization through social media and a website.
The alert originated from a complaint that led the ISP to investigate and found that the brand's website sells products without sanitary authorization.
The ISP warns the public about the risks of purchasing cosmetic products on the informal market, as users cannot verify the products' composition or manufacturing conditions. Illegal products carry no guarantee and cannot demonstrate their safety, quality, and effectiveness, which can cause health risks, such as irritation and burns.
The ISP recommends the public always use products with sanitary authorization, verify the authorization on the ISP website, avoid purchasing products at unauthorized sales locations, and report the illegal sale of cosmetic products through the ISP's reporting portal.
In addition, the document mentions various resources and services offered by the ISP, such as the Transparency Law, public employment, citizen participation, health competitions, and other services related to public health in Chile.
**WHY? **
The alert issued by the ISP has a high impact because cosmetic products without sanitary registration can cause significant health risks, such as irritation and burns. The lack of guarantees regarding the safety, quality, and efficacy of these products increases the risk to consumers.
These products are sold and promoted through social media and websites, making them easily accessible to many people. This increases the likelihood that more consumers will be affected.
Products sold on the informal market lack controls over their composition or manufacturing conditions, which can lead to the distribution of dangerous products.
**WHO? **
Therefore, the direct impact is on consumers, manufacturers and legal sellers, and health authorities.
**CONCLUSION: **
The ISP alert has a high impact due to the significant health risks, the widespread dissemination of illegal products, and the lack of control over their manufacturing and composition.
