Evaluation of Lead Presence in Lipstick Sample using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy: A Forensic Study

Abstract

Background- The increasing prevalence of daily cosmetic product usage has given rise to new health concerns. A wide range of cosmetic products, from affordable to high-end, are available on the market. These products can have a significant impact on human skin, mucous membranes, hair, and nails, sometimes leading to allergies and other related issues. This may be attributed to the presence of toxic chemical components in the majority of cosmetics used daily.
