Abstract

This research included the estimation some of heavy elements (cadmium, lead, iron, nickel, copper) in some cosmetics available in local Iraqi markets, where the heavy elements were collected and estimated in 20 different samples of (kohl, blush, lipstick, eye shadow). Using a flame atomic absorption device, the results of heavy metal concentrations in the studied items showed that iron was the most abundant metal in those preparations, where the iron concentration in all samples ranged from 10,631 - 196.75 ppm, the copper concentration in all samples ranged from 0.021 - 33,514 ppm, and the lead concentration in all samples ranged from 0.01 - 9.35 ppm, The cadmium concentration in all samples ranged from 0.02 to 1.713 parts per million, and the nickel concentration in all studied samples ranged from > 0.01 to 0.5776 parts per million.
