Overview
- The prohibition was formalized through Disposición 28/2026 published in the Boletín Oficial after a cosmetovigilance report triggered an investigation.
- It explicitly blocks use, sale, distribution and advertising, including offers on online marketplaces across Argentina.
- Inspectors found the product on the market without a lot number or expiry date and determined it had been commercialized without completing ANMAT registration.
- Testing linked the only identified lot to two ingredients banned in cosmetics since 2015—methylene blue and gentian violet—while the named laboratory disavowed the unlabelled unit.
- After the inspection, the conditioner was later registered to Ukiyo S.R.L., which was notified to explain any role in the unlabelled product’s introduction but had not responded.
