The popular pretty Arpapron Natewong, aka Malangmiang, is in hot water after one of her customers accused her of illegally mixing mercury into her Sexy Witch cosmetics products.
The customer who exposed her using the Instagram account @helpmeplsssss claimed that her skin was badly affected by the illegal ingredient. She published before and after photos of her skin as well as photos of a positive mercury test result.
In response to the allegations, the 24-year-old model and surgery guru insisted that she did everything by the book and her products had passed inspection from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Many critics, however, have pointed out that her statement does not come across as credible since the material she sent to the FDA for inspection could have been different from that sold in the market.
The affected customer is now urging other victims to file a complaint with the FDA or police if they have similar symptoms or skin allergies.
Sexy Witch, which is sold mainly online, has been very successful in the year since its release. One set of Sexy Witch, worth THB1,400, consists of five bottles: serum, collagen gel, day cream, night cream and sun screen.
