Be careful if you have cosmetic products from the Cien brand at home, sold by Lidl throughout France. According to UFC-Que Choisir, some of them contain toxic substances. In order to establish this observation, the consumer defense association analyzed the composition of 510 references of this brand. They were then ranked according to their level of risk ranging from A to D.
If a cosmetic presents no risk to date, it is rated A. On the contrary, the letter D is assigned to it in the event of a significant risk. The risks involved may concern babies aged 0 to 3 years, children aged 3 to 16, adults and pregnant women. UFC-Que Choisir revealed the results of this test on Thursday. In total, 17 items from the brand are rated D because they contain substances that are prohibited or dangerous to health.
An allergen banned since 2022
In detail, these are: Cien Classic Cream, Cien Sunscreen for children SPF 50, Cien Sun, Cien Hydro hand cream, Cien Surgras shower cream, Cien Aqua – Moisturizing mask, Cien Deodorant men aqua 48h, Cien Gold – Anti-aging day cream, Cien Gold – Anti-aging night cream, Cien Hand cream – Anti-aging, Cien Gold – Moisturizing cream with triplo efeito, Cien Gold – Handcreme Cien Anti-dandruff shampoo, Cien Almendras – Body milk, Cien Natural look – Beach Waves, Cien White orchid – Sublime luminosity – Eye contour care, Cien Brown perfect – Highlighter, Cien Aloe vera – Anti-aging face cream.
The association warns in particular regarding the presence of butylphenyl methylpropional, also called lilial or BMHCA.

Two other very potent allergens were detected: methylchloroisothiazolinone and methylisothiazolinone.
