GB Daily Glow Skin Cream banned from sale
The health ministry says the product has mercury, which can be absorbed into the body and cause damage to the kidneys and nervous system.
The health ministry has revoked the authorization for selling the cosmetic product GB Daily Glow Skin Cream following its discovery of dangerous substances, including mercury, which is prohibited in cosmetics due to potential health risks such as kidney and nervous system damage.

The public can verify the status of any cosmetic product by visiting the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency website. Offenders can face fines of up to RM25,000 or imprisonment for up to three years for their first violation, with penalties escalating to up to RM50,000 or imprisonment for up to five years for subsequent offenses.
Companies found guilty can be fined up to RM50,000 for their initial infraction and up to RM100,000 for any subsequent violations.
