MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611000742 A) filed by Ct University, Ludhiana, Punjab, on Jan. 5, for 'portable non-destructive device for detection of lead in lipsticks using spectroscopic and ai-assisted analysis.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Ankita; Dr. Shivani Bhardwaj; and Mr. Rohit Chatrath.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention is a handheld, portable, non-destructive device for quickly identifying and measuring lead contamination in lipsticks and cosmetic formulas. The system uses AI-assisted spectrum interpretation in conjunction with tiny spectroscopic modules chosen from X-ray fluorescence, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy, or electrochemical sensing. The technology estimates lead content in a matter of seconds by analyzing surface emissions or electrochemical reactions without causing any damage to materials. To lower false positives, an embedded intelligence engine accounts for pigment interference, fillers, and formulation variability. The results, which include numerical ppm levels and unambiguous safety rulings, are shown locally and via a mobile application. During production audits and regular market surveillance operations, consumers, inspectors, merchants, and clinicians can make quick compliance judgments thanks to an integrated regulatory database that analyzes measurements against regional cosmetic limitations."
