After being widely discussed for nearly a month, the Guangdong Cosmetics Quality Management Association debunked the statement "Moisturizing cosmetics are a stupid tax" on February 29th. In their article, they made it clear that there is no scientific basis for the claim. The industry professionals praised this clarification and expressed relief, believing that this erroneous viewpoint would tarnish the industry's reputation if left unaddressed.
Let's review how this unfolded. At the end of last month, a self-media account named "For Lingfei" released a video titled "A Soul-Torturing Question," which caused a major uproar in the industry. The video received over 100,000 views.
In the video, a self-proclaimed post-95 formulation specialist raised the questionable viewpoint that moisturizing is a stupid tax. Many industry professionals expressed disagreement and disbelief towards this claim. Simultaneously, numerous experienced research and development engineers scientifically argued that cosmetics have moisturizing and hydrating effects (see the article "Moisturizing: stupid tax? Industry Professionals Retort!" for more details).
On February 29th, the Guangdong Cosmetics Quality Management Association published an article titled "Debunking Rumors | Explanation Regarding the Release of 'Cosmetic Moisturizing as a stupid tax'" on their official WeChat account. According to available information, this association is an official platform directly affiliated with the Guangdong Provincial Drug Administration for disseminating policies, regulations, government-industry voices, industry updates, and exposure of illegal activities related to cosmetics. The article explicitly states that "products containing moisturizing agents such as glycerin, hyaluronic acid, aloe vera extract or betaine can effectively replenish skin moisture and prevent dryness; they penetrate deeper into the stratum corneum layers to synergistically enhance natural moisturizing factors (NMF), improve skin's water-holding capacity, promote skin metabolism to keep it hydrated and smooth." It also cites Nobel laureate Peter Agre's discovery of aquaporins (water channel proteins) as evidence of their important role in maintaining skin hydration functionality and regulating water balance in keratinocytes during stratum corneum formation – providing scientific justification for developing more effective moisturizing products.
Furthermore, the Guangdong Cosmetics Quality Management Association supported its stance by referencing various legal provisions such as "Evaluation Criteria for Cosmetic Efficacy Claims" and "Guides for Evaluating Moisturization Efficacy in Cosmetics." They emphasized that moisturization efficacy in cosmetics goes hand in hand with hydration; both are interrelated and inseparable.
