Heavy Metal Testing in Cosmetic Products

Heavy metal contamination in cosmetic products is seen as a serious hazard. Many cosmetic products contain heavy metal concentrations. These include cadmium, chromium, iron, nickel and lead. These heavy metals are found in many lotions, foundations, whitening creams, lipsticks, hair dyes, and sunscreen creams. Regular use of these products poses a serious threat to human health, especially with prolonged exposure. For this reason, it is necessary to monitor the content of cosmetics, especially heavy metals, in order to ensure human health and safety.

Cosmetics that are repeatedly applied directly to human skin, mucous membranes, hair and nails must be safe for health. However, concerns about this issue are increasing. Unfortunately, using these products in some cases produces adverse effects from the presence of chemicals, including toxic metals.

Metals in cosmetics can be sequestered and directly affect the skin, pass through the skin to the blood, accumulate in the body and show toxic effects in various organs.

A study found that 75 percent of eyeshadow colors contain more than 5 ppm of at least one of the metals such as lead, cobalt, nickel, chromium, and arsenic. Just this numberIt shows the size of the scale.
