Japan Implements the Ingredient Ban for Medicated Products
Do you remember? A couple of days back we discussed the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) final safety rule for antibacterial soaps. Following the US FDA’s call for the ban on specific ingredients, Japan turns the first implementation force in APAC announcing that they have implemented the ingredient ban already.
In an announcement, the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare (MHLW) informed that they have eliminated the suggested ingredients from medicated products such as soaps, hand wash, shower gel and facial cleansing.
