Brazilian National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) published a resolution on May 4, 2026, ordering the seizure of a facial moisturizer called Skin Face – Clareador Noite (Night Brightener), manufactured by an unidentified company. The resolution prohibits the product's sale, distribution, manufacture, advertising, and use. The enforcement action was triggered by two key violations: the manufacturing company lacks the required operating authorization to produce cosmetics, and the product itself has no sanitary registration. This action reflects Anvisa's ongoing mandate to protect Brazilian consumers from cosmetic products that have not undergone the proper regulatory review process. Sanitary registration is a critical safeguard that ensures products meet safety and quality standards before reaching consumers. Without it, there is no guarantee that a product's ingredients, formulation, or manufacturing conditions have been vetted by health authorities.
