Abstract

A high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the simultaneous quantitative analysis of DMDM hydantoin, sorbic acid, phenoxy ethanol in cosmetics was studied by using a X-terra C$\sub$18/ column and 0.75mM KH$_2$PO$_4$ in 0.85% sulfuric acid and methanol mixture(7:3) at 214nm. Calibration curves were found to be linear in the 20-100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL range (DMDM hydantoin), 50-250 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL range (sorbic acid) and 10-50 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL range (phenoxy ethanol). The result of recovery test were 96.6% ∼ 104.2%. This HPLC method can be applied quality control of cosmetics.
