The Danish company International Cosmetics Science Center (ICSC), located in Harlev, has been reported to the police by the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration (Fødevarestyrelsen) for allegedly misleading its customers. According to Michael Rosenmark, head of the inspection team, the company has acted with gross negligence aimed at economic gain while deceiving its clients. This claim arose following a control report from a visit to ICSC on December 9, which highlighted significant concerns regarding the company's practices.

Rosenmark emphasized the importance of consumer trust, stating that when customers pay extra for what they believe is a superior product, they deserve accurate information about the ingredients used. The misleading claims involve products that were purported to be organic almond oil, raising questions about the authenticity of ICSC's marketing and quality assurances. The company has described itself on its website as a certified supplier to many multinational businesses, promoting their oils made from high-quality ingredients.

As the investigation continues, the implications of this situation could be substantial, not only for ICSC's reputation but also for consumer confidence in the cosmetic industry at large, particularly concerning claims of ingredient authenticity and quality. This incident highlights the need for regulatory oversight in the cosmetics sector to ensure consumer protection and transparent marketing practices.
