The Ministry of Health has moved to prohibit the distribution and sale of GB Daily Glow Skin Cream following the discovery of mercury contamination in the cosmetic product. Health officials determined that the presence of the toxic heavy metal in the formulation presents a direct threat to consumer safety.
Mercury absorbed through skin application can accumulate in the body over time, potentially causing severe damage to vital organs. The ministry identified the kidneys and nervous system as particularly vulnerable to mercury-related harm, with prolonged exposure capable of triggering long-term health complications.
The ban represents part of ongoing efforts by health authorities to monitor cosmetic products available in the Malaysian market. Consumers who have purchased GB Daily Glow Skin Cream are advised to discontinue use immediately and consult medical professionals if they have concerns about their health following application of the product.
The ministry did not specify the source of the contamination or whether the product had been recalled from retail outlets nationwide. Further details regarding the enforcement of the ban are expected to be announced as the investigation continues.
