About

Lead(ii)methanesulphonate is a cosmetic ingredient. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Lead(II) methanesulphonate presents a hazard profile that includes H302/H332 (acute toxicity), H315 (skin irritation), H318 (serious eye damage), H350 (carcinogenicity), H360 (reproductive toxicity), H341 (genotoxicity concern), H351 (carcinogenicity classification), and H400/H410 (aquatic toxicity). The EU Annex II listing for lead compounds broadly prohibits their use in cosmetic products. Lead's well-documented neurodevelopmental toxicity in children makes it particularly unacceptable in any cosmetic application.

Known concerns

  • EU Annex II banned — lead compound
  • H350/H351 carcinogenicity
  • H360 reproductive toxicity
