There are many
kinds of cosmetics are being used for many years. Cosmetics which applied to
the skin surface can pass into the systemic circulation depending on the
components inside and which may cause systemic exposure. Thus, the possible toxic
effects associated with the use of these products are considered to be decisive
of components of cosmetics. The most important of these components are toxic
heavy metals which originated from production as inevitable impurities and/or
contaminations. The most important heavy metals for cosmetics are lead (Pb),
cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), cadmium (Cd), antimony (Sb) and arsenic
(As). The aim of this study we carried out investigation of 52 foundation
sample which obtained from 15 different brands. In our study, levels of Pb, Co,
Cr, Ni, Cd, Sb and As was measured using the method of graphite furnace atomic
absorption spectroscopy (GFAAS). Our results show that levels of As, Cd, Pb and
Sb of samples are well below limits which set out in current regulations.
However, the amount of Cr in all analyzed samples was found to be above the
limit which highlighted in the literature in view of allergic reactions.
Respectively three and two samples are only determined that exceed the limit values
in terms of Co and Ni. As a result, it can be stated that examined foundations
are safe to use in terms of heavy metals except for Cr. However, it would be
useful to repeat similar studies with specific intervals for the safe use of
these products.
