Be careful if you use concealer to apply makeup. The cosmetics brand Essence recalls a batch of its product "Camouflage + Matt concealer" in shade No. 50 "warm toast", announced Wednesday the site Rappel Conso.
This makeup product was sold between March 21 and May 16 throughout the France in many supermarkets. Auchan stores are concerned, but also a Carrefour in Calais (Pas-de-Calais) and a Super U in Lodève (Hérault). Foreign e-commerce sites shipping in France may also have sold the product before it was withdrawn from the market.

The reason for this recall is the presence of the bacterium "pseudomonas aeruginosa" in lots numbered 0DBCB and 0DBCA of the product. This bacterium can cause illness under certain circumstances, especially in immunocompromised people.
It is the Essence brand itself that is at the origin of this withdrawal, it also clearly mentions it on its website. If you have this product, stop using it and bring it back to the point of sale.
