The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) is warning state residents to stop using some types of skin lightening products, after testing revealed that they may contain dangerous levels of mercury.

 

The implicated products were sold as skin-lightening agents, although they may also be used as skin-smoothing products. MDH tested 27 samples of the products, including 23 creams and four soaps.

 

The skin creams pictured below exceeded the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's limit of no more than one part per million (ppm) of mercury in cosmetic products.

 

 

DO NOT USE THESE PRODUCTS:
