Abstract:

A method of GC-FID was used for the analysis of D4, D5, D6 and their analogs D3, D7, D8 in cosmetics. The samples were extracted, filtered and analyzed by gas chromatography, and quantified by external standard method. The results show that there is a good linearity between the peak area and the concentration of six cyclic siloxane in the range of 5-200 mg/L with the r values higher than 0.998. The detection limits for six cyclic siloxane are 0.002%, and the limits of quantification are 0.005%. The average recoveries of six cyclic siloxane in shampoo,conditioner,shaving cream, bath gel and cleanser are 77.1%-104.2%, 72.1%-106.9%, 71.5%-112.6%, 73.3%-118.7%, and 74.8%-104.6%, respectively. The method is simple, efficient, sensitive and reliable, and is suitable for the general detection of six cyclic siloxane in various kinds of rinse-off cosmetics. It can provide technical support for the protection of the global environment and human health.

Key words: rinse-off cosmetics, methylcyclosiloxane, gas chromatography
