Heavy Metal Tests in Cosmetics and Personal Care Products

Skin contact Heavy metals can easily enter the human body with cosmetics that can be absorbed and swallowed, such as lipstick and cosmetics. In our country and around the world, there are regulations and standards that restrict the presence or amount of heavy metals in cosmetics and personal care products.

While lead and arsenic from heavy metals are considered as contaminants in cosmetics, cadmium is also used as a colorant as well as being a contaminant.
