READ THIS FROM THE KENYA
BUREAU!
The Kenya Bureau of
Standards using legal
notice number 66 of 1999 and
Legal Notice 155 of 1998,
warned in the form of a
public notice to the media
to inform as well as to
ultimately educate
Kenyan Consumers of the
(what they consider to be) harmful
effects of mercury,
hydroquinone, and hormonal
preparations and oxidizing
agents contained in
some
cosmetic lightening products
available on the
pen market.
Enforced in Kenya the
prohibition also known as a ban is
for protecting uneducated
consumers and prevent the
sale of these products in
the consumer markets of
Kenya
Hydroquinone, oxidizing
agents and hormonal
preparations are used for
treating various medical
conditions. They are
therefore classified as
drugs and should be applied
only upon the advice and
direction of a medical
doctor.
Cosmetic products listed
here contain hydroquinone,
steroids, mercury and
hydrogen peroxide. They have
not been registered with
Pharmacy and Poisons Board
as medicines. They
therefore, should NOT BE
OFFERED FOR SALE as they
have not been registered and
approved for use in Kenya.
