This study aimed to provide the fundamental data on the field of cosmetics by comparing heavy metal concentration in terms of domestic/foreign products, types and colors. The study determined the concentrations of lead, cadmium, arsenic, chromium, antimony, nickel, copper and cobalt in cosmetics such as lipstick, lip gloss, lip balm, foundation and eye liner. From the period of January to August, 2013, 121 samples were collected from cosmetic stores distributing to the general market. The average metal concentrations were as follows; 0.663μg/g for lead, 0.010μg/g for cadmium, 0.056μg/g for arsenic, 1.144μg/g for chromium, 0.008μg/g for antimony, 0.405μg/g for nickel, 0.319μg/g for copper and 0.108μg/g for cobalt. Except for chromium, the heavy metal concentrations were significantly higher in foreign products than in domestic products (p < 0.05). Also, The mean concentrations of heavy metal were significantly different (p < 0.05) when classified by cosmetic type. The highest mean concentrations shown in lipstick were 1.430μg/g of chromium, 0.616μg/g of lead and 0.385μg/g of nickel, in foundation 1.155μg/g of lead and 1.023μg/g of chromium. In eye liner, the highest mean concentrations were 1.424μg/g of chromium and 0.830μg/g of nickel. Additionally, The concentrations of heavy metal were significantly different by color (p < 0.05). Brown colored cosmetics were found to have the highest mean concentrations of chromium, nickel and copper, ivory colored cosmetics the highest mean concentrations of chromium and lead, and pink colored cosmetics the highest concentrations of lead and chromium.
