“…In a similar study, all subjects were provided with the same products (Loretz et al, 2005). Although this method yielded data on the amount applied under uniform conditions, it may not have reflected the real-life amounts applied because of the effects of the subjects' preferences.…”

“…Nonetheless, as cosmetics are used throughout the year, it was considered appropriate to combine summer and winter data for handling in the assessment of safety. Table 13 shows a comparison of data for the product types surveyed in the present study with the following existing data: Loretz et al (2005), also published in the Exposure Factors Handbook (US-EPA, 2011); Hall et al (2007); data from the Cosmetic, Toiletry, and Fragrance Association (CTFA, 1983); data from Biesterbos et al (2013) . A considerable amount of data are available for creams, and in the present study, mean values were 0.30 g/application and 0.41 g/day, and 90th percentile values were 0.58 g/application and 0.84 g/ day.…”

-Safety assessments of cosmetics are carried out by identifying possible harmful effects of substances in cosmetic products and assessing the exposure to products containing these substances. The present study provided data on the amounts of cosmetic products consumed in Japan to enhance and complement the existing data from Europe and the United States, i.e., the West. The outcomes of this study increase the accuracy of exposure assessments and enable more sophisticated risk assessment as a part of the safety assessment of cosmetic products. Actual amounts of products applied were calculated by determining the difference in the weight of products before and after use by approximately 300 subjects. The results of the study of skincare products revealed that in comparison with the West, large amounts of lotions and emulsions were applied, whereas lower amounts of cream and essence were applied in Japan. In the study of sunscreen products, actual measured values during outdoor leisure use were obtained, and these were lower than the values from the West. The study of the use of facial mask packs yielded data on typical Japanese sheet-type impregnated masks and revealed that high amounts were applied. Furthermore, data were obtained on cleansing foams, makeup removers and makeup products. The data from the present study enhance and complement existing information and will facilitate more sophisticated risk assessments. The present results should be extremely useful in safety assessments of newly developed cosmetic products and to regulatory authorities in Japan and around the world.

“…There is evidence suggesting children who had been exposed in-utero from their mother's experienced developmental issues. These children were affected with a range of symptoms including motor difficulties, sensory problems and mental retardation 13 . Arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury are described as heavy metals which in their standard state have a specific gravity (density) of more than about 5g/cm3 (Arsenic, 5.7; cadmium, 8.65; lead, 11.34; and mercury, 13.549) while metals like copper, nickel, chromium and iron are essential in very low concentration for the survival of all forms of life, but, when present in higher concentration can cause metabolic anomalies 14 .…”

Since the dawn of civilization cosmetics have constituted a part of routine body care not only by the upper strata of society but also by middle and low class people. Heavy metals contamination in cosmetic products is becoming an important health problem in both worldwide and locally at the level of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The aim of this study was to study. Quantitatively estimated heavy metals "lead, cadmium, mercury and Arsenic" using graphite. Total of 21 popular brands used lipstick products sold in Riyadh market samples from 3 different types of lipsticks frequently used among females in Saudi Arabia was digested. The digested samples were analyzed for lead, cadmium, mercury and Arsenic using graphite furnace-atomic absorption spectrometry. The mercury concentration was high followed by arsenic and cadmium, finally lead. The results indicate that the toxic heavy metals in all the samples were below the US FDA and SFDA permissible limits for cosmetic products with the exception the mercury content in some lipstick samples was higher than SFDA. There was no significant difference among the lipsticks in price categories. Continuous use and possible unintended ingestion of these toxic heavy metals, though in low levels in the cosmetics, may pose potential health risk due to their bioaccumulation in body organs.
