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 C18 column and 0.75mM KH2PO4 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.
