Abstract:

A gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method was established for the determination of 18 preservatives compounds (methyl chloride isothiazolinone, etc.) in infant cosmetics. The cosmetic samples were extracted with 0.1 mg/mL ascorbic acid methanol as the solvent, separated on an Agilent DB-5 MS chromatographic column (30 m×0.25 mm×0.25 μm) by temperature programming with split injection technique, analyzed by GC-MS, and then quantified by an external standard curve. The results indicate that the effective separation and determination of 18 preservatives can be realized within 20 minutes. The method has good linear relationship with the correlation coefficients (R) greater than 0.998, the limits of detection (LOD) are in the ranges of 0.15-1.50 μg/kg, and the average recoveries at three spiked levels are in the range of 76.7%-104.9%. The method is accurate, rapid, simple, and quite suitable for the simultaneous determination of 18 preservatives in infant cosmetics.

Key words: gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, infant cosmetics, preservative
