29 skin-lightening products contain mercury
The article concerns warnings from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) about 29 skin-lightening and discoloration-removal products containing harmful metals such as mercury and hydroquinone. These substances pose serious health risks, including kidney damage, nervous system disorders, and permanent changes in skin color. Tests revealed that the highest mercury concentration was found in the cream "Orbi 20," measuring 27,762 parts per million. The use of these products repeatedly, especially by children and pregnant women, presents risks due to mercury absorption through the skin. Some products also contained hydroquinone levels as high as 4.4%, which can lead to permanent skin problems. The FDA warned that selling these products through online platforms does not guarantee their safety, and advised avoiding them to prevent potential health damage.
