# Heavy metal analysis in your pharmaceutical products

## Would you like to carry out heavy metal analysis in your cosmetic products

### Why analyze heavy metals in your cosmetic products?

First of all, heavy metals are not present as ingredients in pharmaceutical products, but they can appear as **’**[impurities](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/laboratory-detection-identification-impurities.md), most often originating from raw materials or manufacturing processes involving ligands and catalysts.

According to the European and American pharmacopoeias, for patient safety, heavy metals in finished pharmaceutical products and raw materials must not exceed specified limit values and therefore must be analyzed.

As a result, the support of a laboratory with expertise in heavy metal analysis is essential as part of quality control and regulatory procedures for bringing your pharmaceutical products to market.
