A face cream from Mexico has led to eighteen cases of mercury poisoning in South Texas. Two of them are infants whose mothers used the face cream when they were pregnant. In addition to the face cream, which is sold by Crema Aguamary products in Mexico, sixteen other product samples, obtained from individuals were tested by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS). The samples of face cream had elevated levels of mercury, ranging from 56,000 to 131,000 ppm (Parts per million). One of the samples of face cream, meant to be used around the eyes, had 240 to 6700pp, of mercury. The US Food and Drug Administration allows only products with a ppm less than one in cosmetics.
The contaminated face cream products are not being sold in the US. They are, however, being sold online.
