To camouflage a blemish, a redness or simply to obtain a brighter look… The concealer is a true daily ally. Unfortunately, one formula has been flagged by the government for allegedly containing dangerous bacteria. This is the CAMOUFLAGE + MATT concealer from the Essence brand. The color affected by this recall is No. 50 hot toasts. This product was marketed in Auchan, Carrefour Calais, Super U Lodève from March 21, 2023 to May 15, 2023 and the affected lots bear the references: 0DBCB and 0DBCA. But this cosmetic can also appear on commercial sites such as Amazon or Makeup.fr, although it is unlikely that it will yet.
What is Pseudomonas aeruginosa?
Pseudomonas aeruginosa it is an opportunistic microorganism generally present in water or in aqueous cosmetic products. It can develop into cosmetic formulas such as foundations, concealers, glosses or other water-based products. Particularly virulent for people with a weak immune system, it can, in some cases, be responsible for skin or eye infections.
What if I had this concealer at home?
If you’ve already applied concealer to your skin, the first thing you should do is stop using it immediately to avoid the risk of infection. Whether it is new or already opened, it is essential to bring the product back to the point of sale, which will refund it. A procedure in force until 31 December 2023.
Last thing to do, you need to contact the brand’s consumer service whose number is the following: 00800 267 66 820 or +49 6196 76156 8080. An e-mail address is also available: [email protected]
