Beauty creams and sun blocks are cosmetic products. The majority of
creams and lotions are emulsions. An emulsion can be defined simply
as two immiscible fluids in which one liquid is dispersed as fine
droplets in the other. Beauty creams and sun blocks are widely used
in Pakistan as well as all over the world due to look more
beautiful, young, fair, wrinkle and spot free skin. Skin care
products cause large number of common diseases such as cancer,
hormonal disorders, chronic fatigue syndrome, immune disorders,
heart disease and sexual problems. Skin cancer is exacerbated by
toxic chemicals found in most skin lotions and sunscreens.
Detection of toxic metals (Cu, Cr, Co, Ni, Pb, Zn, As, Bi, Cd, Hg,
Ti) in different brands of beauty creams and sun blocks has been
made by atomic absorption spectroscopy and inductively coupled
plasma to ensure the safety of their use. The present work mainly
focuses on quantify and compare the levels of toxic metals in
different brands of beauty creams and sun blocks. The digestion of
different samples of beauty cream and sun blocks was done by using
concentrated acids (HNO3 and HCl).
