The national medicine authority ordered the withdrawal of cosmetic products from the market because they contain cannabidiol, a substance prohibited in the composition of these cosmetics, according to the regulator.
After ongoing inspection action, Infarmed verified that cosmetic products from Wetabonix and Drasanvi had cannabidiol in their composition, a substance that, as it is obtained through extracts from the leaves of marijuana plants, is prohibited in cosmetics, “therefore, they are not found compliant”, says Infarmed in informative circulars .
In this sense, he determined to “immediate suspension of commercialization and withdrawal from the national market of all batches of Wetabonix CBD Oil 7% and Wetabonix CBD Oil 15% products“, from the company Wetabonix, based in Spain.
It determined the same for the products, CBD Body Balm, CBD Facial Cream SPF15, CBD Facial Serum, CBD Cremi Gel, Accept CBD 3%, Accept CBD 5%, Accept CBD 10%, Roll On CBD Azul Descanso y Relax, Roll On CBD Rojo Alivio Tensiones Cabeza, CBD + 3 Arcillas, Accept CBD 20%, Accept CBD 30%, Jabon CBD, Accept CBD Broad Spectrum 20%, Accept CBD Broad Spectrum 10%, whose distributor is .
In another informative circular, the regulator refers to the resumption of the suspension of commercialization and withdrawal from the market of all batches of Cannabiron CBD cream and Good Cannabis Cream products, also because they contain cannabidiol in their composition.
“The inclusion of CBD or other cannabinoids, which exist naturally in the cannabis plant, is not permitted, as they are obtained through the preparation of extracts or tinctures of cannabis or its resin,” says Infarmed.
According to the regulator, this prohibition excludes “the use of substances/preparations obtained from plant seeds with a THC content =0.2%, such as cannabis seed oil, from varieties registered in the Catalog Common Varieties of Agricultural Species”.
The medicines authority appeals to entities that have these products to make them available and advises, for any additional information in relation to the listed products, to contact the distributor.
