On the evening of April 14, in response to consumer complaints about skincare brand Kefumei products containing the prohibited ingredient EGF, the China Fragrance, Fragrance and Cosmetics Industry Association issued an information note stating that it attached great importance to this matter and quickly conducted special discussions and research with experts in the fields of biology, toxicology, cosmetic technology, inspection and testing in response to public concerns. After verification, the relevant scientific knowledge was introduced as follows: Results cannot be determined based on ELISA testing method alone. According to the China Cosmetic Association, there are currently no commercial ELISA kits suitable for EGF testing in cosmetics in the world. The ELISA method itself has a certain false positive rate, which requires comprehensive judgment through techniques such as mass spectrometry and immunoblotting. Results cannot be determined based on a single ELISA test method alone. Furthermore, no experimental design details were seen from the report, nor were standard curve verification data provided. The China Cosmetics Association calls for scientific and rational public opinion supervision, resolutely supports scientific public opinion supervision according to law and regulations, and emphasizes that any test results must meet scientific standards and technical standards.
