Abstract : This study focuses on the determination, as well as, the composition of some heavy metals contained in 34 eye cosmetic samples. These samples were selected from different shops at Jeddah markets in Saudi Arabia and were manufactured from different countries (China, Saudi Arabia, Italy, Canada and USA). The quantification of selected elements was achieved by ICP-OES Spectrometry for all samples after digestion with concentrated acids HNO3: HClO3 in ratio 4:1. The elemental analysis of heavy metals was performed by X-ray Fluorescence for eyeshadow samples. The composition of some samples was studied by PXRD (Powder X-Ray Diffraction). The overall results of this research revealed that heavy metals present in eye cosmetics products are within acceptable limits while some of those lower price products imported from China can be harmful, and some of them have failed some tests of SASO. The prolonged use of such products can be a potential threat to human health since heavy metals can accumulate in human tissues over time and induce allergic problems. It is highly recommended to control the quality of these products and to aware consumers to be careful when they purchase low price products.
