Abstract:

An UHPLC-MS/MS method for the determination of 63 hormone drugs in facial mask cosmetics was established. The pretreatment conditions and mass spectrometry parameters were optimized. The samples were extracted with acetonitrile by ultrasonic-assisted liquid-liquid extraction. Acetonitrile and water were employed as mobile phases and gradient elution was performed. The UHPLC separation was carried out on a Shim-pack XR-ODSⅢ column (2.0 mm×150 mm). The samples were detected by tandem mass spectrometry detector with scheduled multiple reaction monitoring (Scheduled MRM) scanning method. And 63 kinds of glucocorticoids and sex hormones were scanned through simultaneous collection of positive and negative ions. Quantitative analysis was carried out by matrix standard curve with the peak areas of the daughter ions on high intensity. The detection limit, quantitative limit and linear equation of 63 hormone drugs were confirmed. The average recoveries are 71.5%-119.5%, and the RSD are less than 19.2%, indicating good recovery and high precision. This method is simple, sensitive and accurate, which can be employed to simultaneously detect illegal addition of hormone drugs in facial mask cosmetics. It is suitable for high through-put detection of prohibited substances in cosmetics. This research work provides technical support for the safety and quality supervision of facial mask cosmetics.
