ADVISORY | HEALTH — The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has warned the public against purchasing and using the unregistered food supplement “LUXE SKIN BEAUTY TALKS L. ANNA Premium Oral Sunblock + Stem Cell Dietary Supplement.”

In FDA Advisory No. 2026-0162 signed by FDA Director General Atty. Paolo Teston, the agency said the product does not have a Certificate of Product Registration (CPR), meaning it has not undergone the FDA’s evaluation process for safety, quality, and efficacy.

“The FDA verified through its online monitoring or post-marketing surveillance that the above-mentioned food supplement is not registered and no corresponding Certificate of Product Registration (CPR) has been issued,” the advisory stated.

Pursuant to Republic Act No. 9711, otherwise known as the “Food and Drug Administration Act of 2009”, the FDA said the manufacture, importation, exportation, sale, offering for sale, distribution, transfer, non-consumer use, promotion, advertising, or sponsorship of health products without the proper authorization is prohibited.

“Since these food supplements and food products have not gone through the evaluation process of the FDA, the agency cannot assure their quality and safety,” it said.

The FDA warned concerned establishments not to distribute, sell, advertise, or promote the said product until a CPR is issued, or face regulatory actions and sanctions.

It also requested appropriate authorities to ensure that this product is not sold or made available in their areas of jurisdiction.

“The Bureau of Customs is likewise enjoined to restrain the importation and/or exportation of this product as well as all unregistered food products,” the FDA stressed.
