A new analysis of acne creams and cleansers found that dozens of products, including popular brands like Proactiv and Clearasil, contain chemical linked to cancer.

Researchers tested over 100 benzoyl peroxide products and found ⅓ were contaminated with high levels of benzene.

🧵1Image
The analysis found Proactiv contained 18 times the amount of benzene allowed in US drugs, while a CVS brand face wash had 13 times the US FDA's safety limit.

The findings support an earlier controversial study, increasing pressure on the FDA to address the products' safety.

🧵2
“The results presented here suggest that a substantial portion of the BPO acne treatment market currently contains unacceptably high levels of benzene in products sitting on the shelf,” the study by Valisure wrote.

The issue was initially uncovered in another earlier analysis, prompting the lab to file a petition with the FDA to recall those it had found with high levels of benzene.

Fugitive Jho Low reportedly transferred US$406,000 to Kim Kardashian and her former partner Kris Humphries, while Pharrell Williams received US$2,025,000.

These payments were made using funds from 1MDB through his shell company, Good Star Ltd, a witness testified today.

🧵1
Image
According to financial fraud investigator Richard Templeman, Low misappropriated US$1.03 billion from 1MDB's JV with PetroSaudi Limited and transferred the funds to Good Star.

"These were used for the personal benefit of the co-conspirators and their associates."

🧵2
Good Star remitted US$13.5 million to a Riyad Bank account under the names of Prince Faisal and Prince Saud in two tranches: US$12 million and US$1.5 million.

"After receiving the US$12 million, US$10 million was transferred from the Al-Saud account to Najib Razak."

Seoul authorities say women's accessories sold by online retailers Shein, Temu, & AliExpress contained toxic substances, with some levels hundreds of times above acceptable limits.

Out of 144 products tested from the companies, multiple items failed to meet legal standards.

🧵1
Image
Shein shoes were found to have phthalate levels far exceeding legal limits, with one pair 229 times over.

“Phthalate-based plasticisers can reduce sperm count, cause infertility and premature birth,” says Seoul’s environmental health team.

🧵2
"One chemical is listed as a human carcinogen by the International Cancer Institute, therefore long-term contact with it should be avoided," they add.

Formaldehyde, a chemical often found in home building products, was detected in Shein’s caps at twice the permitted level.

Starbucks Malaysia operator Berjaya Food Bhd has recorded a net loss of RM29.76 million in the third quarter ended March 31, 2024 from a net profit of RM15.94 million the same period last year.

Its revenue also almost halved to RM138.65 million in the quarter under review.

🧵 1 Image
BFood has registered a net loss of RM53.31 million for the first nine-month period of the year versus a net profit of RM86.13 million in the previous corresponding period.

Its revenue also dropped 28.96% to RM599.74 million from RM844.22 million over the same period.
🧵 2
The company attributes the drop in revenue and pre-tax loss to the ongoing boycott due to the conflict in the Middle East.

It adds that the one-off loss arising from the disposal of the group's entity equity interest in Jollibean Foods Pte Ltd also played a part.
