The safety of cosmetics is becoming nowadays a current issue. This study was designed to detect heavy metals in some conditioners marketed in Sudan for beautification. Three cosmetic articles marketed under different commercial names and extensively used by Sudanese women were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma/optical emission spectroscopy (ICP/OES). (ICP/OES) analysis of test samples revealed absence of potentially harmful mercury, lead, nickel and cadmium. However it showed that a common metal in test samples is calcium. Samples 1 and 2 contained iron. Barium, manganese and copper appeared only in sample 1. Boron appeared only in sample 2, while europium appeared only in 3.
