The Kenya Bureau of standards (KEBS) suspended more than 300 beauty products from the Kenyan market for containing poisonous compounds that have been harming Kenyans. Some of those suspended have been in Kenya for decades.
Kenya’s cosmetic sector is worth more than 10 billion shillings. Most of the products are imported into the country. 99.5% of the cosmetic products sold in the Kenyan market are for ladies. Men just have 0.5% of cosmetic products.
