Skin Lightening - Is this any acceptable Mercury levels
Hello Amazon support,
When a listing is flagged for skin lightening and we use one of the 4 Amazon recommended labs, are some traces of mercury acceptable at all or it must be completely be zero mercury detected?
Thank you

Just doing a quick Google search on mercury in skin lightening products came across this from the FDA:
Administration cautions that you should avoid skin creams, beauty and antiseptic soaps, and lotions that contain mercury.
...
These products usually are manufactured abroad and sold illegally in the United States,
...
FDA does not allow mercury in drugs or in cosmetics, except under very specific conditions where there are no other safe and effective preservatives available – conditions that these products do not meet.
So I'm gonna guess that any trace of mercury is going to make Amazon reject the product, as they want to comply with the law.
