The products had gained visibility because influencers such as Julieta Poggio, Flor Vigna, and Candelaria Tinelli showcased them on their profiles.
The agency stated that these were "illegitimate products," without sanitary registration, of unknown origin and manufacture, so their safety and efficacy could not be guaranteed.

What ANMAT ordered
Through Provision 5661/25, the use, sale, advertising, publication on open offer platforms, and distribution of all Carbon Coco products were banned.
The measure covered all presentations, batches, expiration dates, and net contents, until the company regularized its situation before the health authority.

How the investigation began
The investigation began after a complaint was received by ANMAT's Cosmetovigilance area, which detected the offer of these products on online sales channels.
When the information was cross-checked with the database of authorized cosmetics, no matches were found between what was promoted and what was registered in the system.
For this reason, the agency proceeded with the ban to prevent potential health risks for consumers.
ANMAT recommended always verifying that cosmetics are registered and being wary of advice without professional support.
Given these health risks, it is advisable to critically evaluate information from social media and confirm data with official sources before using products that promise quick results.
