The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) recently shut down an unauthorized cosmetic manufacturing plant located in Agege, Lagos State. This facility was found to be producing skincare products under unsafe and unregulated conditions.
This action highlights NAFDAC’s ongoing commitment to safeguarding public health by cracking down on illicit cosmetic operations. The factory, known for producing the Shine Shine Skincare line, was operating without the necessary approvals and failed to meet established safety standards.
Such enforcement measures are crucial as the cosmetic industry in Nigeria continues to grow rapidly, with an estimated market value exceeding $500 million in 2023. Consumers are increasingly vulnerable to health risks from counterfeit or substandard products, making regulatory oversight essential.
NAFDAC’s intervention serves as a reminder for manufacturers to comply with legal requirements and for consumers to remain vigilant about the origins and safety of their skincare products.
