Abstract
Nowadays cosmetics are part of daily routine. In addition to food and drinking water, cosmetic products also contain mercury in small amounts. Our goal was to evaluate the concentrations of mercury in various brands of cosmetic products and to demonstrate that the daily application of cosmetics raises the risk of mercury accumulation in the body. The most purchased cosmetic products were identified based on the three-months sales reports of ten pharmacies and five specialized cosmetics stores from Poland, regardless of the brand or name of the product. The first six categories of best-selling cosmetic products were selected, and the first seven most requested products were selected from each category.
