Analysis and Quantification of Heavy Metals in Cosmetic Products

Heavy metals are bioaccumulative in our environment. They can be found as unavoidable impurities in various raw materials, such as cosmetic products.

The use of these heavy metals does not represent a main ingredient in the formulation of cosmetic products. However, the origin of these metals in cosmetic formulations can vary.

For example, manufacturing processes, potential migration from the final packaging, possible chemical changes due to product instability in contact with packaging, constituents of the cosmetic matrix due to physical, optical or sensory properties, and finally chemical synthesis or content/container interaction under normal storage conditions can all contribute.
