html In the early morning of January 21, Ren Zeping posted an article through the WeChat public account "Zeping Macro" saying: "Since there is no cosmetic certificate and drug qualification for special functions, we have carried out the promotion of 'anti-hair loss'. , the relevant departments requested to regulate the publicity of Rensheng Zefa."
Tianyan Check showed that on January 9, Beijing Funakang Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Funakang"), in which Ren Zeping participated, was regulated by the Beijing Municipal Market Supervision and Administration Bureau. The bureau imposed the penalty because it highlighted the promotion of fullerene and its anti-hair loss and hair growth effects in cosmetics, which was inconsistent with the actual efficacy of its registered products.
Ren Zeping already responded to the above matters on his personal Weibo at 17:00 on January 19, but this time his response on "Zeping Macro" added some important content. The regulatory authorities mentioned that cosmetics claiming to have the effect of preventing hair loss should be registered as special cosmetics. Ren Zeping mentioned in his latest response that at present, applications for cosmetics certificates with special functions have been submitted, and the company will speed up the application process in the future.
In Ren Zeping's latest response and previous publicity, he mentioned many times that the thickness of his hair has been significantly improved after using fullerene-related care products.
In September 2022, Wang Chunru, the founder of Funakang, met Ren Zeping. Seeing Ren Zeping's thinning hair, he invited him to Funakang to experience and try out hair care products containing fullerene ingredients.
In the first half of 2023, Ren Zeping repeatedly promoted the Rensheng Zefa project, mentioning that his hair was significantly thicker after using related products.
On November 5, 2023, Ren Zeping's WeChat public account "Zeping Macro" published an article, clearly mentioning the views of Wang Chunru, the founder of Funakang: "Funakang has been tested by a large number of volunteers, and 'fullerene' is good for improving hair. The ability to grow is stronger than most existing products."
Ren Zeping said in his latest response: "My original intention at the time was also because I was once troubled by hair health. Later, after using fullerene technology, it was greatly improved, so I decided to cooperate with Let’s work together to promote this good technology to more people in need.”

Comparing Ren Zeping’s previous responses on Weibo, the latest response deleted “You can Baidu to compare the before and after conditions of my hair.” .
In this response, Ren Zeping mentioned that relevant departments have given certain recognition and encouragement to Funacon and its technology. Among them, Funacon has conducted laboratory verification, animal experiments and human efficacy tests on the application of fullerene in skin care and hair care, which shows that it has a certain effect and has relevant scientific basis.
On May 19 last year, Suzhou Rensheng Zefa Biotechnology Co., Ltd. was established as the operating entity of Rensheng Zefa. The shareholders of this company are shown as Ren Zeping, Wang Chunru (founder and chief scientist of Funakang Biotechnology), Beijing Funakang Biotechnology Co., Ltd., etc. In other words, "Rensheng Zefa" is a shampoo made by Ren Zeping himself, and it may have a technical and equity partnership with Funakang Biological, Wang Chunru, etc.
"Daily Economic News" reporter also noticed that the cooperative relationship between these parties was deepened in October last year. Qixinbao shows that in October 2023, Ren Zeping bought a stake in Funakang Biotech and held 4.5% of the latter's shares.
In previous reports, reporters pointed out that for the "Rensheng Zefa" product, Ren Zeping posted a patent invention certificate on his personal social platform, and the authorized invention was called "a hair composition and hair growth serum." The abstract shows that this invention combines fullerene with other ingredients to make the hair growth phase of mice longer and achieve the effects of permanent hair growth in a short period of time. However, in addition to the patents disclosed by Ren Zeping, reporters' inquiries found that Wang Chunru or Funakang Biotech also have a number of patents related to fullerene hair care that are in the review stage or have been rejected all year round.
On the product details page of the "Rensheng Zefa" online store, it lists "three core patented technologies to produce fullerenes." According to the published patent number, the reporter found that the above-mentioned patents all have invention patent rights granted, but there is no patent on the hair-growing function of fullerene.It is mainly "adapted to large-scale production of metallofullerenes", "obtaining c60 or c70 target fullerene molecules with relatively high yields, and adapted to large-scale preparation of high-purity fullerenes" and "disclosing a water-soluble fullerene." An external composition of ene, in which the concentration of fullerene is 0.01~10mg/ml. The composition has small particle size, is rapidly absorbed, and has the effect of whitening, removing spots, and removing wrinkles. "Using supercritical fluid technology to dry fullerene at low temperature, it can Effectively removes residual organic solvents in fullerenes."
In other words, the patented effects listed by "Rensheng Zefa" are not consistent with the product effects it promotes.
