MFDS Notice No. 2025-63 sets Korean safety standards for cosmetics. The source provides detection allowances for substances that are objectively shown to derive unintentionally and cannot be completely removed technically. The HMI-controlled metal rows include lead, nickel, arsenic, mercury, antimony, and cadmium, with product-specific lead and nickel sublimits. The values are stated as micrograms per gram, equivalent to mg/kg.
