The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has issued a recall of Dove Beauty Cream Bar Soap (100g) with batch number 81832M 08, produced in Germany, due to chemical impurity.
 
A ban on the marketing of Dove’s Beauty Cream Bar Soap has been placed by some regulatory and public authorities, in the EU.
 
The product does not comply with the Cosmetic Products Regulation as it is said to contain Butylphenyl Methylpropional (BMHCA) which is prohibited in cosmetic products due to its risk of harming the reproductive system, causing harm to the health of an unborn child and may cause skin sensitization.
