It is the responsibility of the manufacturer who places the product on the market to ensure that a finished cosmetic product does not contain heavy metal impurities exceeding the limits specified above, based on the specified parameters. However, the manufacturer must ensure that the raw materials used in the manufacture of the product and the finished product are of appropriate quality and safe, and that they do not pose a risk to consumers.
