In order to investigate illegally added banned dyes and the contents of heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, mercury and lead) in cosmetic products, local health bureaus randomly collected 100 products (106 samples) from drug stores, pharmacies, department stores, hypermarket and cosmetic stores in Taiwan. These samples were analyzed for 14 banned dyes listed in the cosmetic regulations set by the Taiwan Ministry of Health and Welfare by liquid chromatograph/tandem mass spectrometer (LC-MS/MS) and the content of heavy metals were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS). The results showed none of 14 banned dyes were detected in all samples, which complied with the regulations, whereas lead (12.6 and 15.5 ppm) was detected in 2 samples, which is not in compliance with the limit of 10 ppm. |
