00:00Our program received a message asking us to investigate if it is safe to use the trending lotion in many parts of Mindanao.
00:15I will just ask if these products are FDA approved or if they are in the right process.
00:20I am just concerned because a lot of people are doing this.
00:24The so-called lotion is being mixed in buckets and baskets.
00:34It is being shipped not in sachets or containers, but in plastic cups.
00:41And it is being sold online.
00:44It really makes my skin white and smooth.
00:49This so-called lotion is making a lot of women white.
00:57But is it safe to use?
01:01Along with the ingredients used,
01:04friends of Maguindanao and Cotabato City, Aliyah Bay Malaiha and Lamps, are also using it.
01:11Lamps is just a kid. She is really insecure about the color of her skin.
01:16I really have a dark skin and I have a lot of blemishes.
01:19They say that no matter how ugly a person is, if they are white, I want to be white because of my husband.
01:24I might look for others. I have used a lot of products, but it really doesn't affect my skin.
01:29Until she saw the trending lotion in her timeline.
01:33There are two types of this.
01:35The bleaching lotion that is recommended for beginners.
01:39And mixed lotion for maintenance.
01:43As I said earlier, I will order a big one.
01:45All her feedback will be good.
01:48Lamps bought the mixed lotion for P120.
01:52Twice a day, she applies it to her skin.
01:55I use this before I take a shower at night and in the morning.
01:58All of it so that my skin will be even.
02:00And just last week, she saw some changes.
02:05Just seven days ago, all the dark spots were gone.
02:08A lot of people ask me what I use.
02:10Do you apply lotion? I say no.
02:12It's really just a mixed lotion.
02:14I am happy with her change.
02:16She looks better in my eyes.
02:20Aliyah was conscious of her dark face after they went out.
02:25Until she saw the mixed lotion in the post of one of her friends.
02:30I saw her MyDen.
02:32So I commented on it.
02:34That's where it started.
02:35I said, bring it to me. I will try it.
02:38Aliyah says that she uses it twice a day.
02:42And she has been using it for just a month.
02:45She has already seen results.
02:47There are a lot of products for whitening.
02:50Wherever you are really young, you are there.
02:53But is it registered in the FDA?
02:57Yes, it is registered in the FDA.
03:00But is it registered in the FDA or in the Food and Drug Administration?
03:06I will just ask what you mix in the lotion, ma'am.
03:09Did it pass the quality control?
03:12Especially if it is just mixed in the bottle.
03:16Next.
03:17To be sure, we tested it.
03:20Based on the chemical test.
03:22Is it safe to use a whitening product for the people of Mindanao?
03:28I researched it on YouTube on how to mix it.
03:33You will know when we come back.
03:42The popular whitening product in some parts of Mindanao,
03:47is a lotion that is seasoned with balde and flangana.
03:54I have been using it for just 7 days.
03:55All the dark spots are gone.
03:57A lot of people ask me what I use.
03:59Do you use a lot of lotion?
04:00I say no.
04:01I only use mixed lotion.
04:03There are a lot of products for whitening.
04:06Wherever you are really young, you are there.
04:10One of the making of a trending lotion,
04:13we learned from Shariff Aguak in Maguindanao,
04:17Bayhani.
04:19Mixed lotion unleashing started in 2021.
04:23I used it after 3 months.
04:26I saw that it has an effect on my skin.
04:30Bayhani showed it to our team.
04:34We wear gloves to make it clean.
04:39That's why it's called mixed lotion.
04:41Because we mix the whitening lotion product.
04:46They use 5 ingredients.
04:49Lotion, powder, soap, and water.
04:53She also added a secret ingredient.
04:57I didn't show what I put there because it's for private.
05:03I researched it on YouTube on how to mix it.
05:06To make it easier to mix, she mixes it with a hand mixer.
05:12After 1 hour, we can put it in a container.
05:16Bleaching lotion is said to be more effective
05:19if it is applied to the skin for 1 to 5 hours.
05:23I am making an example of myself.
05:25Because I have sensitive skin.
05:27I used to have dark skin.
05:30I used it after 3 months.
05:33It has an effect on my skin.
05:37And because it has an effect on her,
05:39Bayhani sold it online.
05:42After 3 weeks or 1 month,
05:45they sent me the changes in their skin.
05:49In mixed lotion, someone sent me,
05:53Wow, ma'am, amazing, you got rid of your acne.
05:57They told me, Wow, ma'am, amazing, you got rid of your melasma.
06:01You got rid of your stress mark.
06:04Their product is more sold this December
06:08because of their in-demand lotion.
06:10Someone gave her money
06:12to find out what formulation she used.
06:16She offered 30,000.
06:18Ma'am, can I get the ingredients of your product?
06:22I said, Ma'am,
06:25I really can't.
06:27Even if you give me this much money,
06:30I won't accept it.
06:33But there are others who will decide
06:35if the trending lotion is safe.
06:38You should wear gloves and cover your hair.
06:41I'm just concerned.
06:42We can't identify the ingredients one by one.
06:47We need to watch out for the delicate things
06:51that can have a sensitive reaction.
06:53Like redness and itchiness.
06:56If we experience this,
06:59we should stop using the product
07:02because if we continue using it,
07:04it will be harmful.
07:07That's why we tested its chemical composition.
07:11Based on the chemical test,
07:14it doesn't have mercury or lead,
07:16so it's not detected.
07:17It doesn't exceed the normal limit of detection.
07:22But we can't say if it's safe
07:24because bleaching solutions have different contents.
07:27Considering our test,
07:28we won't know if it's totally okay
07:32unless we have FDA approval.
07:34We went through different tests
07:37to know if the concentrations are within the limit
07:40set by our universal standards
07:43of the World Health Organization and the FDA.
07:47Now, we found out
07:49that the lotion sold by Byhani
07:52is not registered with the FDA
07:54or the Food and Drug Administration.
07:56It's high risk
07:58because the product is not properly tested
08:03to see if it's good
08:06or if there's something bad for us.
08:09It's only available in the market.
08:11It can cause contamination,
08:13bacterial, fungal,
08:15that can affect our products.
08:23Byhani says she'll follow the process
08:26to make her products legal.
08:29If I apply to the FDA,
08:31our products will be widely used.
08:34I don't have a lot of budget.
08:37When the Americans bought us,
08:39because they're white,
08:42this is their standard.
08:44If you think you're happy there,
08:46your self-confidence will boost.
08:49It's okay, just do it.
08:50What we need to change
08:52is the mindset and culture of Filipinos
08:55that are superior to the white people.
08:58To our native Filipinos,
09:00there are a lot of white people who are crazy.
09:04It's up to you to decide
09:06what you want from yourself.
09:09It's up to us.
09:11Ensure that the products you use
09:14are safe in your skin.
09:16Approved by the FDA.
09:18So you can safely achieve
09:21your dream.
09:22Kutis!
09:39for our latest updates.
