The Senate on Tuesday, mandated its Committee on Health to investigate the procedures for certification on quality and safety of Cosmetics and propose a way forward for accountability.
The Senate also directed the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) to rise up to its duty of regulating importation, formulation and sale of cosmetics within Nigeria. This is following a motion sponsored by Senator Oluremi Tinubu (Lagos Central), who observed that the use of natural plants for beauty and medicinal purposes is as old as humanity and expressed worry over the non-regulation of bleaching creams in the market which contain harmful substances that could put the lives of buyers at risk.
