The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said on Tuesday it sent warning letters to twelve companies for selling certain over-the-counter (OTC) skin lightening products that have not been approved by the agency and pose safety risks.
The products from companies including M & M Beauty and Wellness, Ultimark Products, and Genomma Lab USA contain hydroquinone, a depigmentation agent used in skin lightening creams which has come under the FDA’s scrutiny over safety concerns.
