Methods for testing lead and mercury in cosmetics

Water, gold and silver jewelry

Steps/Methods

1. Go to the inspection agency designated by the Ministry of Health for testing, which is a more reassuring way

2. Apply cosmetics on the back of your hand, and slide it with pure gold jewelry. If black appears, it means it contains lead and mercury.

3. Take some cosmetics and apply them on silver jewelry. If the silver jewelry turns black, it means there is lead and mercury in the cosmetics.

4. Take some cosmetics and put them in a cup of clean water. If there is sediment at the bottom of the cup, it means it contains lead, mercury, etc.

5. Apply some lipstick on the back of your hand and rub it back and forth with gold jewelry. If the lipstick turns black, it means it contains lead and mercury.

Note: Our common silver jewelry will oxidize and turn black over time, which has nothing to do with whether the cosmetics contain lead.
