Is mercury found in skin-lightening creams?
The draft corpus points to studies of skin-lightening creams that were not saved here, so no cream concentration is stated. A separate DMPS series, graded C, involved workers who produced a mercurous chloride skin-bleaching lotion. That study measured the workers' urine mercury, not products on a shelf.

What's safe to buy
The Heavy Metal Tested and Certified public register listed no licensees on 15 October 2026. That page reported 0 certified brands and 0 certified products, and it stated that no brand has completed the three-lot baseline. A specimen layout on the register is an illustration, not a licensee. This page does not name or rank any brand.
The program states that certification is a measurement of a product against a published limit, not a statement that the product is safe. If a licensee is later listed for this category, it will be on the register.
