“…11 Capelli et al, studied the toxic metals in face-powders and revealed the presence of all the considered metals in the range 0.06-8.0µg/g. 12 Another study done by Nnorom et al, in the facial cosmetics found that the levels of chromium, iron and zinc were much higher in the samples but in this study lead and arsenic were not detected in facial cosmetics. 13 Olabanji IQ and Oluyemi EA studied the concentrations of six heavy metals, Lead (Pb), Nickel (Ni), C admium (Cd), Manganese (Mn), Chromium (Cr) and Arsenic (As) in most popular brand of ten lipsticks and ten nail polishes sold at cosmetic store in Ile-Ife market Nigeria by using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS).…”

Background: Many people believe that all cosmetics are safe but there are number of studies proving that majority of the cosmetics contains heavy metals or other chemicals. In this study we selected two heavy metals arsenic and lead because as per the Indian scenario is concerned most of the Hindu and Muslim females uses lead/arsenic based cosmetics.Methods: For the qualitative/quantitative estimation to detect heavy metals such as arsenic and lead in cosmetics, 20 different types of cosmetics were purchased from local market, labelled and analysed by qualitative test for heavy metals method and ICP-AES Analysis of cosmetics method.Results: A questionnaire was framed out in English and analysis showed that students had an adverse effect while using cosmetic products. Preliminary analysis of some samples gave positive results and for confirmation these samples were sent to IIT Bombay for ICP-AES analysis. Some of the samples showed variable level of heavy metals such as lead and arsenic. Highest concentration of lead and arsenic was found in Surma followed by Sindoor, lip balm and Kajal.Conclusions: Heavy metals are one of the major contaminant in our eco system. Apart from this a number of cosmetic products also contain the same. Chronic use of this kind of cosmetic products will leads heavy metal toxicity.

“…The most used analytical approach to the quantification of metal content in cosmetics, in the absence of official methods, is the digestion with acids (HNO3) and H2O2 [8][9][10][11] and As were selected in this study because they are considered toxic even at low concentrations, and they can be bioaccumulated in the organism [7]. The Ni is involved in allergic dermatitis [15].…”

O objetivo deste trabalho foi determinar a concentração de elementos potencialmente tóxicos em diferentes produtos cosméticos, usando metodologias de digestão simples, acessíveis e técnicas espectroscópicas. Um total de doze produtos foram selecionados, comprados e analisados, os quais incluem blush (BL), sombra para os olhos (SH), pó facial (PO) e tinta em pó para crianças (PP). As amostras foram secas (a 100ºC), trituradas e homogeneizadas. Para digestão duas metodologias foram empregadas. Os teores de Ni, Pb e Zn foram quantificados por espectrometria de absorção atômica com chama (FAAS), e os teores de As por espectrometria de absorção atômica com atomização eletrotérmica em forno de grafite (GFAAS). Em geral, as amostras apresentaram teores abaixo do limite de detecção (LOD) para Ni, Pb, As e Zn. No entanto, algumas amostras de PP apresentaram teores de Zn entre 2 ± 1 e 442 ± 32 mg L-1. Esse resultado deve-se provavelmente ao uso de alguns pigmentos naturais ou inorgânicos, e sugerem as seguintes ações: (1) monitoramento regular de elementos potencialmente tóxicos em produtos de PP; (2) novos estudos sobre os níveis de Zn em produtos cosméticos para crianças; e (3) a criação de legislação para regular a composição dos produtos de PP.

“…According to Health Canada, 100% of all cosmetics product tested positive for nickel and over 90% tested positive for both lead and beryllium and on the average contained at least 4 of the 8 metals of concern (arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury, beryllium, nickel, selenium, and thallium) [36]. Although titanium's use in sunscreens is regulated, some formulations also include other heavy metals, which are not regulated [37,38]. Cosmetics use in pregnancy is not uncommon.…”

Personal care products and facial cosmetics are commonly used by millions of consumers on a daily basis. Direct application of cosmetics on human skin makes it vulnerable to a wide variety of ingredients. Despite the protecting role of skin against exogenous contaminants, some of the ingredients in cosmetic products are able to penetrate the skin and to produce systemic exposure. Consumers' knowledge of the potential risks of the frequent application of cosmetic products should be improved. While regulations exist in most of the high-income countries, in low income countries there is a lack of similar standards. In most countries for which these legal regulations have been identified, restrictions on the permissible level of heavy metals are strict. There is a need for enforcement of existing rules, and rigorous assessment of the effectiveness of these regulations. The occurrence of metals in cosmetic products is of concern for three principal reasons: (i) the use of cosmetic products could represent a possible source of population-wide exposure daily, and often long-term exposure to metals in cosmetic products (ii) metals can accumulate in the body over time, and (iii) a number of them are known to exhibit different chronic health effects, such as cancer, contact dermatitis, developmental, neurological and reproductive disorders, brittle hair and hair loss. Some metals are potent endocrine disruptors and respiratory toxins. Moreover, some metals, such as Cd, As, Pb, Hg and Sb, are exceptionally toxic with a wide variety of chronic health effects, whereas Cr, Ni and Co are well known skin sensitizers. Since the issue of heavy metals as deliberate cosmetic ingredients has been addressed, attention is turned to the presence of these substances as impurities.
