ANMAT Bans Curl Girl Hair Conditioner Nationwide Over Banned Substances and Traceability Failures

The order follows a probe that found unlabeled units alongside a lot containing substances barred from cosmetics since 2015.

Overview

  • The prohibition, formalized by Disposición 28/2026 in the Boletín Oficial, covers use, sale, distribution, advertising and online listings across Argentina.
  • The product—Blonde Curls – Moisturizing Silver Conditioner—was found on the market without a lot number or expiration date, preventing verification of legitimacy.
  • Inspectors confirmed the only documented lot (DC394, venc. 11/2024) contained methylene blue and gentian violet, ingredients banned in cosmetics since 2015.
  • ANMAT determined the conditioner was marketed without prior registration, ordered its immediate withdrawal and notified all provincial authorities to enforce the measure.
  • Laboratorio Luis Norberto Jara denied producing unlabeled units, while UKIYO S.R.L., listed in a post‑inspection registration filing, was asked to clarify its role and had not responded at publication.
