It is of great concern that in the recent announcement from GSK Malaysia that Acne-Aid Soap and Liquid Cleanser contain porcine derived sulfonated olive oil. This is a major setback in this country where the majority of the population are Muslims. Not only that, as more people are moving away from using cosmetics containing animal by-products, this revelation set an added disadvantage. It is one of the top-selling cleansers and we hope that GSK would consider removing any animal derived ingredients from their products.
