| Popis: | There are manykinds of cosmetics are being used for many years. Cosmetics which applied tothe skin surface can pass into the systemic circulation depending on thecomponents inside and which may cause systemic exposure. Thus, the possible toxiceffects associated with the use of these products are considered to be decisiveof components of cosmetics. The most important of these components are toxicheavy 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). Theaim of this study we carried out investigation of 35 foundation sample whichobtained from 11 different brands. In our study, levels of Pb, Co, Cr, Ni, Cd,Sb and As was measured using the method of graphite furnace atomic absorptionspectroscopy (GFAAS). Our results show that levels of As, Cd, Co, Pb and Sb ofsamples are well below limits which set out in current regulations andhighlighted suggestions in the literature. However, the amount of Cr in 34samples was found to be above the limit (1 ppm) which highlighted in theliterature in view of allergic reactions. Despite the fact that 14 samples are determinedthat exceed the recommended limit values of Ni, samples are well below thelegal limits. As a result, it can be stated that examined lipsticks are safe touse in terms of heavy metals except for Cr. However, it would be useful torepeat similar studies with specific intervals for the safe use of theseproducts. |
