Popis:	Makeup products contain heavy metals in variable amounts. Oxidative stress, damage, and aging could happen due to exposure to heavy metals. This study aimed to evaluate the concentrations of non-enzymatic antioxidants, and lipid peroxidation marker (malondialdehyde, MDA) in makeup and non-makeup users. 69 female students were sorted into two groups of 31 of non-makeup users (control group) and 38 of makeup users (case group). In this respect, the case group was also divided into 3 subgroups according to a period of 1.09±0.78 years (as mean±SD). 10 mL venous blood was drawn to determine the serum level of vitamin C, uric acid, glutathione (GSH) and MDA. The gained results were statistically analysed using SPSS. This in turn indicated a significant reduction in vitamin C, uric acid and GSH levels in makeup users compared to the control group. However, MDA concentrations were significantly higher in makeup users. A significant correlation between lipid peroxidation, dropping in non-enzymatic antioxidants and makeup products application was found.
