<p>Cosmetic products are among the most widely consumed personal care items globally, and their mineral-based formulations raise legitimate concerns regarding radioactive element content. This study aimed to evaluate the radiological safety of fifteen commercially available powdered cosmetic samples collected from local markets in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. Samples were analyzed using CR-39 solid-state nuclear track detectors over a 65 day exposure period. Samples were chemically etched in a 6.25 N NaOH solution at 70 ± 0.1 °C for 6 h to enlarge and develop the alpha-particle tracks, which were subsequently examined via microscope scanning. The findings demonstrate that the mean mass exhalation rate for radon, area exhalation rate for radon, radium content, and radon daughters deposited on the chamber walls (POW) and on the detector face (POS) were 0.063 Bq kg⁻¹ h⁻¹, 0.317 Bq m⁻³ h⁻¹, 0.83 Bq kg⁻¹, 16.19 Bq m⁻³, and 8.78 Bq m⁻³, respectively. The statistical analysis revealed significant correlations (<i>p</i> ≤ 0.001) between radium content and the radon exhalation rates, as well as between radium content and POW and POS values, reflecting the dependence of radon production and progeny deposition on the radium content of the samples. These findings highlight the urgent need for structured radiological monitoring and regulatory oversight of imported cosmetic products in the region.</p>
