“…Our results for Cd in terms of median, mean or maximum values were quite comparable with the results reported by other authors [9,13,14,[17][18][19][20][23][24][25]. The values further given are expressed in units used in the cited literature.…”

“…However, it should be kept in mind that in studies dedicated to eye shadow analysis, different decomposition procedures are applied. Based on the literature review included in Table S1, the following acid mixtures were employed and described in the literature to perform the wet chemical elemental measurement by spectroscopic methods: HNO 3 /HF/H 2 O 2 [1,16], HNO 3 /HCl/H 2 O 2 [17], HNO 3 /HCl [15,18], HClO 4 /HNO 3 [19], HNO 3 /H 2 O 2 [11,20,22], HNO 3 /H 2 O 2 /HF, HCl [23], HNO 3 /HF/HCl [24], HNO 3 /HClO 4 /H 2 O 2 [7] or HNO 3 /HF [14]. The proportions between the mass of the sample being decomposed and the number of reagents used, along with some information regarding the cosmetics preparation step, are presented in more detail in Table S1.…”

“…The brief literature review ( [1,7,9,11,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] Table S1) concerning the evaluation of different elements in cosmetics products, including eye shadows, shows that the most popular technique being employed for this purpose is Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (both Flame AAS and Graphite Furnace AAS), followed by ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry) and ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometry). Techniques such as XRF-type (X-Ray Fluorescence), for which special sample preparation is not needed, are not so commonly used in the safety assessment of cosmetics products.…”

Determination of Metallic Impurities by ICP-MS Technique in Eyeshadows Purchased in Poland. Part I

et al. 2021

Eye shadows, which are products willingly and frequently used by women and even children, have been reported in literature to contain toxic metals. In this work, a total of 94 eye shadows samples available on the Polish market were collected. Eye shadow products have been selected in order to include several parameters important from the point of view of the typical consumer such as: product type (mat/pearl), consumer group (for adults and children), price range (very cheap, medium price, expensive and very expensive), color (twelve different colors were tested), manufacturer (eight brands were investigated) or country of production (four countries were included). The concentration of selected metals (Ag, Ba, Bi, Cd, Pb, Sr, Tl) was determined by ICP-MS technique after the sample extraction with a mixture of nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide in a microwave closed system. For Ag, Cd and Tl, some results were below the established limit of quantification for the employed technique. The presence of strontium, barium, lead and bismuth was confirmed in all studied samples. The obtained results for analyzed elements were, in general, quite comparable with the data reported by other authors. A small number of samples exceeding the permissible values (two samples were beyond the limit value for Cd of 0.5 mg/kg and one exceed the acceptable concentration for Pb of 10 mg/kg) also proves a relatively good condition of the Polish cosmetics market and suggests insubstantial risk for the potential consumers. The results gathered for some of the eye shadows intended for children turned out to be alarmingly high, in particular for elements such as Cd. The highest concentration of Cd reached almost 4 mg/kg, while of Pb amounted to 16 mg/kg. The presence of the statistically significant differences was confirmed for all included parameters with an exception of the color of the eye shadow. Considering the results acquired only for Cd and Pb with respect to the country of origin, the least contaminated cosmetics by metallic impurities seem to be the one produced in Canada, while the ones presenting the highest health risk among all studied eye shadows are make-up cosmetics originating from Poland and Italy. Multivariate analysis of a large data set using CA methods and PCA provided valuable information on dependencies between variables and objects.

“…Porém, sempre pode existir contaminação de metais tóxicos e bioacumulativos como Cd, Co, Cr, Ni, As, Hg e Pb, provenientes dos aparatos metálicos utilizados na manufatura do produto. 8 Existem diversos estudos acerca da segurança do uso de cosméticos tópicos pelos seres humanos, que indicam que a alergia causada pela exposição de maquiagens está associada a presença de níquel, cromo e cobalto, 9 e do potencial perigo da presença de nanopartículas de óxidos metálicos que causam a absorção destes materiais, mesmo eles sendo inertes e insolúveis. 9 No Brasil, a ANVISA é o órgão responsável pela legislação dos cosméticos.…”

“…A ANVISA ainda regula que Cd, Cr e Pb não podem ser utilizados para a produção de cosméticos e o teor máximo de impurezas em colorantes cosméticos é 500 mg L -1 para Ba, 3 mg L -1 para As, 20 mg L 1 para Pb e 100 mg L -1 para outros elementos. 10 Na literatura existem diversos trabalhos acerca da determinação de metais contaminantes em diversos itens cosméticos, [8][9][10][11][12] o que torna essa abordagem muito promissora acerca da contextualização entre os conceitos relacionados às técnicas e a determinação de metais. Baseado nisso, este trabalho propõe a análise do teor de alguns metais presentes em sombra de olhos, a partir do uso de medidas espectrofotométricas em equipamento de UV-Vis, disponíveis em uma grande parte dos laboratórios de instrumentação para a graduação nas universidades brasileiras.…”

A CONTEXTUAL EXPERIMENT IN HIGHER EDUCATION. Metallic oxides are used in cosmetic shadows formulations in order to highlight the area around the eyes, with different colors. Due to the close proximity to the eye mucosa, these products are a potential source of metal intoxication in human body. Based in this fact, several analytical methods to quantify metals in cosmetic shadows have been proposed in the literature. This paper, propose a contextual experiment to investigated the presence of Al 3+ , Fe 3+ and Cu 2+ using UV-VIS spectrophotometric and complexation reactions in solvent mixtures to generate cromophore species. These experiments have the potential to insert a contextual discussion in chemistry and pharmaceutical graduation courses, making a meaningful experimentation in the formative attribute of these courses.

Consumption of cosmetic products in daily life in order to improve skin quality or appearance is becoming quite common. Over time, it may expose consumers to skin problems and effects caused by the absorption of chemical elements. Clean cosmetic production is important for our health. However, heavy metals can be found as impurities in raw materials or as by-products of the cosmetic production process. Women's ingestion and exposure to organic and inorganic contaminants in cosmetics through dermal absorption, due to reasons such as personal habits and characteristics of the living environment, may contribute to carcinogenic risks following daily dietary exposure. NCS ZC 81002b (Human Hair) was performed as a certified reference material in method validation. This work was conducted to evaluate element concentrations of selected elements (Al, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Hg, Cd and Pb) in 3 different brands of children's cosmetic products such as bright and colorful 22 eye shadows (7 different colour) 4 lipsticks (3 different colour) and 4 nail polishes (3 different colour) used by children in Turkey. The sample solutions were analyzed with the inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) technique after the microwave digestion system. Consequently, the highest concentration of Al used as pigment was found in the eye shadow, lipstick and nail polish samples for the 3 brands, while the Se concentrations were the lowest in lipstick samples. The results of As, Cd, Hg, Pb, which are restricted or banned for use in cosmetic products in most countries, are below the limits set by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Health Canada Product Safety Laboratory (PSL).
