Imported cosmetic products (i.e. nail polishes and lipsticks) were purchased on the open market in an urban market in Accra and analyzed for the presence of metals including cadmium, cobalt, lead, nickel, chromium and manganese. While the concentrations of nickel were below detectable limits in all the samples, the concentration of lead in the lipstick samples exceeded the allowable limits as prescribed by the Health Canada Draft Guidelines on Heavy Metals in cosmetics. The lead in the nail polish and lipstick samples also exceeded the Ghana Standard Authority limits on lead in cosmetics.
