In this paper, we study the concentration of radon gas in nine cosmetics samples
from different origins in Hilla city/ Iraq by using alpha-emitters registrations that emitted from
radon gas in CR-39 nuclear track detector. The results obtained shown that the highest average
radon gas concentration in cosmetics samples which recorded (17.79 Bq.m-3) for (Summer
Cake powder) sample, while the less was (0.05 Bq.m-3) for (Just Gold powder) sample. From
the present work all cosmetics samples were with lowest concentrations of radon gas than the
allowed limit from International Commission of Radiation protection (ICRP) agency[1].
