Heavy metals in cosmetics pose a potential health risk to consumers. Arsenic, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, lead, mercury, and nickel are elements commonly referred to as "heavy metals" or "toxic metals". Products such as lipstick and those used in and around the mouth may also be exposed orally, as these products can be ingested or absorbed. Finally, it is important to know the levels of heavy metals and the toxicological risks they pose. Accurate and sensitive analysis of raw materials or finished cosmetic products is essential to ensure consumer safety and to reduce the health risks associated with impurities of toxic elements in cosmetics.
To support your raw material identification programs, R&D, and production quality control, we can provide technical advice and testing services, including:
Our toxicology consultants are experienced in providing consulting services related to metals for cosmetic product quality, safety, efficacy, and labeling requirements. We evaluate the toxicity of individual chemical components in formulations used to manufacture products, where we assess the hazard or "inherent" toxicity of each component, such as acute toxicity, skin/eye irritation, the potential for skin sensitization, reproductive toxicity, genotoxicity or carcinogenic activity, in relation to the potential for consumer exposure to the chemical.
