Abstract: BACKGROUND AND AIM: To study the acute toxicity and genotoxicity of pearl anti-spot cosmetic slice. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Acute toxicity test, Ames test, micronucleus test of bone marrow PCE cell in mice, sperm abnormality test of mice were used. RESULTS: The oral acute toxicity study revealed that the maximal tolerance dose (MTD) of pearl anti-spot cosmetic slice was greater than 20.0 g/kg in mice. The results of genotoxicity tests were all negative, including Ames test, micronucleus test and sperm shape abnormality test. CONCLUSION: Pearl anti-spot cosmetic slice showed no acute toxicity and genotoxicity in this study. Thus, pearl anti-spot cosmetic slice is safe at the daily recommended dose(2.0 g/person/day).

Key words: pearl anti-spot cosmetic slice, acute toxicity, Ames test, micronucleus test, sperm abnormality test
