To be serious. Of course it must be a control over product not using prohibited substances or are sold without licenses. Negative effects of that can be very severe.
However it seems like all the big companies can pay for get the ineffective stamp removed. Is really Loreal mascara giving you the same thick eyelashes as advertised?
