Sažetak
Aim: Trace metals are not declaratively stated on cosmetic products, especially lipsticks, there is a need to determine their presence and analyze toxicological effects. This research analyzed the presence and distribution of the metals Cr, Cd, Ni, Pb and Cu and Zn in lipsticks. Materials and methods: 100 samples of lipsticks from different manufacturers were analyzed depending on the country of manufacture (European Union - EU, China, United Kingdom - UK and unknown origin). Metal content was determined using the ICP-MS analytical technique. Results: The results of the collective data indicate the dominance of Pb in the metal pollution index of lipstick samples. In samples from EU producers the influence of Pb and Zn is dominant, while in Chinese producers the strongest influence on IOM is Cr. The proposed linear predictive model indicates that Cd dominates in collective and samples from different areas, although Pb also plays a significant role as a burdening metal, Ni is present as a toxicant in all samples except from China, while Cr plays a significant role only in producers from the EU. By comparison with the legal regulations, the proportions of the analyzed metals are lower than the determined maximum allowed concentrations for certain metals, except for the sample of producers from China, where a higher proportion of Ni than the prescribed maximum allowed concentration values, was detected. Conclusions: The results of the study indicate that, regardless of the content of toxic metals in cosmetic products, attention should be paid to the long-term period of their application and the low index of elimination from the body. Due to the safety of the application of cosmetic products, there is a need for continuous monitoring of heavy metal content as well as regular control of health risks generated when using such products.
