Most people utilize cosmetics to enhance or improve their physical appearance, regardless of their gender, race, or age. Heavy metals (HMs) are impurities or ingredients in many cosmetic products. According to recent studies, these metals can result in a variety of skin and health issues. Numerous studies demonstrate that the mismanaged formulation of such products without sufficient standardization of toxic metals throughout the production process is the primary reason for the high level of HM contamination in the samples. In order to prevent human exposure to such dangerous HMs, it is vital to monitor and manage the fate of HMs in cosmetic items, especially unbranded ones. Due to the wasteful interest of producers in making extra profit, the standards are not being imposed. Moreover, consumers are also ready to compromise with the product due to their unawareness of its hazardous impact on their skin and bodies. Short‐term results on their looks may cause fatal effects on their health. Another significant issue that requires attention is the lack of safety regulations in the country for evaluating HMs in cosmetic products. Additionally, there is an urgent need to establish acceptable limits for potential impurities in cosmetic products that must be enforced at local levels. This review provides a comprehensive insight into the content of HMs in cosmetics and their effects on several organs and the site of application.

“…As demonstrated in Table 7, TXRF has shown great potential in analysing lipsticks, eyeshadows, foundations, liners, and creams, as well as plant-based cosmetic ingredients. 117 In addition to heavy metal quantification, such as Pb, 118 TXRF has also revealed its potential as a multi-elemental screening tool. 60,68 It offers the opportunity to determine major (>1%), minor (0.01–1%), and trace elements (<0.01%), sometimes even without having to dilute the sample.…”

“…Over the years, several methodologies have been developed seeking to identify and quantify lead, mainly in lipsticks (Bocca et. al., 2014), such as X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (Da Silva, David & Pejović-Milić, 2015), laser-induced damage spectroscopy (Liu et. al., 2020) and graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry ( Barros, Silva & Neto, 2015).…”

Cosmetic products are essential items in everyday life and directly related to a good quality of life. This branch has been steadily growing in Brazilian market even in the midst of the economic crisis. Thence, it is the role of the Brazilian National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) to establish standards, guidelines and surveillance actions in relation to these products. In this work, we therefore aimed to perform the descriptive analysis of cosmetics which were considered by Anvisa as irregular products between 2009 and 2020. Results were evaluated according to the following attributes: companies; motives; products; and inspection actions. The analysis encompassed a total of 872 notifications, which showcased that the majority of companies with irregular products are located in the Southeast region (64%), mainly in São Paulo. There was an expressive degree of recurrence of the notified companies, which together were responsible for 40% of the total withdrawals. The most frequent motivations for the application of sanctions were: the absence of product registration/notification (35.3%); quality deviations (25.9%); and the lack of a business license (20.0 %). The most commonly withdrawn products were those for hair use, which may indicate strong relation with the use in beauty salons. In addition, there was a large increase in the irregularity of antiseptic gels in 2020. The number of revocations was low, what suggests lack of adequate quality management in the notified companies. In conclusion, Anvisa has fulfilled its institutional objective of standardization, thereby establishing and enforcing adequate product safety countrywide.
