Abstract
This study determined the concentrations of some heavy metals present in facial make up products available in Khartoum markets of Sudan. The samples included eight lipsticks, eight face powder and eight eye shadow of various prices. the samples were digested and analyzed for heavy metals (copper, lead, cadmium, nickel, zinc) using atomic absorption spectrophotometer(AAS) .the range of the concentrations in lipsticks (1,081-9,551)ppm,(21,04-39,40)ppm,(1,24-16,16)ppm,(0,031-1,008)ppm for Cu, Pb,Ni, Cd- respectively, and zinc not detected. The range in face powder(0,898-6,78)ppm, (18,99 -44,488)ppm,(0.008 -0,189)ppm,(0,988 -4,58)ppm for Cu, Pb, Cd,Zn- respectively, and nickel not detected. The range in eye shadow (0,081-1,00)ppm,( 13,42 -74,2)ppm,(0.128 -0,612)ppm for Cu, Pb, respectively, zinc and nickel not detected. The results showed that the concentration of heavy metals in all samples were below of US FDA limits for cosmetic products' exception that lead concentration in samples was higher than US FDA limits recommendation.
