As the “White Friday” sales season begins and discounts multiply in shops and online platforms, Egypt’s Consumer Protection Agency has urged citizens to be careful when buying cosmetics and personal-care products.
The agency said these products need special care because they come into direct contact with the body, so their origin and safety must be checked, and shoppers should not be swayed by tempting prices without verification.
It stressed that buying from trusted, approved sources is the main guarantee of consumer safety and health.
For safer shopping during the sales season, it is advisable to check product information, expiry date and batch number, inspect the packaging, keep the receipt, compare prices before and after discounts, and report any suspicious product through the agency’s official channels.
