1. Effect of Heavy Metals on the Environment in Reference to the Cosmetic Industry Presented by: Aiswarya K

2. What are Cosmetics? 👉 Cosmetics can be defined as any item intended to be introduced, poured on, rubbed on, sprinkled on, sprayed on, or applied to the human body or any body part. 👉 Cosmetics are used for promoting attractiveness, beautifying, cleansing, or altering appearance and include any item intended for use as a component of cosmetics

3. Heavy metal content in cosmetics: Lead ⁠Mercury Cadmium ⁠Nickel Cobalt Arsenic These metals are used in cosmetics products for various purposes like coloring, preservation, UV absorption, and skin softening

4. Heavy metal impact on human health: Regular use of cosmetics that contain heavy metals can cause heavy metal accumulation in tissues which can lead it to enter our body and cause several health issues.

5. Heavy metal impact on the Environment Improper disposal of heavy metal-containing waste from cosmetic industries and disposal of cosmetic products after use will lead to environmental damages like soil pollution, water pollution and air pollution which will then collectively affect the whole ecosystem through the food chain.

6. Rules and regulations related to cosmetics: In d ia Prohibited lead and arsenic compounds in cosmetics Banned mercury-containing cosmetics

7. Import of products without proper testing and licensing is prohibited Ban on testing on animals

8. European Union Ensures that only safe products are sold on the market. Under the Directive, a product is safe if it meets all statutory safety requirements under European or national law.

9. US F DA The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has the authority to regulate cosmetic products and their ingredients. This authority was granted by the 1938 Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), which included provisions regarding the adulteration and misbranding of cosmetics

10. Heavy Metal Limits in Cosmetics

11. Analytical Techniques for Heavy Metal Extraction in Cosmetics Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF)

12. Case Study Analysis of heavy metals in coloured cosmetics marketed in Pakistan. Research published in the Journal of Public Health Policy in 2024 analyzed colored cosmetics marketed in Pakistan. This study found that products such as lipsticks and eyeshadows contained hazardous levels of lead, cadmium, and arsenic. The presence of these metals in cosmetics can lead to serious health consequences, including kidney damage, neurological issues, and increased cancer risk

13. Case Study FDA testing for heavy content in cosmetics . A 2023 study conducted by the FDA examined various cosmetic products for the presence of heavy metals such as arsenic, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, lead, mercury, and nickel. The findings indicated that although many of these metals were present at low levels, their cumulative exposure could pose health risks over time. The study emphasized the need for stricter manufacturing practices to minimize these impurities .

14. Solution: Introduction of Green cosmetics

15. Heavy metal impact through cosmetic products can be avoided through the introduction of eco-friendly products like  Green cosmetics

16. Forensic significance 1 . Links Suspects to Crime Scenes: Traces of makeup can show contact between individuals or presence at a location . 2 . Identifies Victims: Unique makeup products can help identify unknown victims . 3 . Provides DNA Evidence: Cosmetics may contain skin cells for DNA analysis . 4 . Reconstructs Timelines: The condition of makeup can help determine the sequence of events.

17. Conclusion Despite regulatory efforts, high concentrations of harmful metals persist in cosmetics, posing health risks and environmental damage. Stricter enforcement, consumer awareness, and adherence to guidelines are crucial. Embracing natural and eco-friendly cosmetics, coupled with green chemistry techniques, can mitigate the impact of heavy metals on human health and the environment.
