It is known that lead is present in cosmetic products like lipsticks, soaps, face creams, hair gel, hair dyes. Their by-products get absorbed in the bloodstream through the skin and roots of the hair which holds a harmful effect. This study is focusing on the assessment of lead, contamination in hair dyes commonly used by the Indian population.
