Question by UmEnis: How can I tell if my whitening soap has mercury in it?
I have a whitening soap (from Asia on ebay) with kojic acid and goats milk that I really like, but I’m concerned that (like so many asian whitening products) it has hidden mercury (mercury not listed in the ingredients–it happens a lot). How can I tell–are there any tell-tale signs of mercury in a product?

What do you think? Answer below!

  2. I can’t think of a way you could find out any hidden ingredients. The link below gives info on side effects and things. If you are really that worried about it, you can go to your dr. and ask them to test you.
