Procter & Gamble resuming SK-II skin care sales in China

October 24, 2006

BEIJING (MarketWatch) — Procter & Gamble Co. (PG) said Tuesday it will resume selling its SK-II skin care range in mainland China, following the conclusion of a government investigation that found no health risks from trace metals in the products.
Chinese regulators found that trace levels of chromium and neodymium in the cosmetic products don’t pose health risk to consumers, said Charles Zhang, external relations manager for P&G Greater China.
P&G said in a statement it will resume sales of SK-II in mainland China in the coming weeks.
In late September, P&G said it was temporarily shutting its SK-II sales counters in China nationwide, due to the government investigation and “security incidents” at some of its sales counters involving angry customers.

The move came after Chinese regulators asked the company to take action after finding trace amounts of chromium and neodymium, which can cause allergies and other illnesses, in the SK-II products, according to local media reports last month.
P&G said trace amounts of chromium and neodymium are naturally occurring and said it doesn’t add these elements as ingredients in any of its SK-II products.
Zhang said the company is still estimating the potential losses from the suspension of the sales.
