The National Institute for Food and Drug Surveillance (Invima) issued a health alert regarding Pomys brand Micellar Water , one of the most popular facial cleansing products in the country, due to microbiological contamination that could affect consumers' skin.

Invima (National Institute of Food and Drug Administration) has ordered the voluntary recall of several batches of Pomys Micellar Water, in its "Roses" and "Cucumber and Calendula" presentations. The measure was taken after the product's manufacturer, Productos Familia SA, detected that some units did not meet safe microbiological parameters.

The manufacturing company reported that it began the product recall process on September 19, 2025, and has extended the measure as a precautionary measure to other batches distributed nationwide to ensure consumer safety.
