Introduction
GB/T 42425-2023 Determination of Capryloyl Salicylic Acid, Phenylethyl Resorcinol, and Ferulic Acid in Cosmetics - High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is a standard published by the Standardization Administration of China (SAC) that specifies the method for analyzing the content of capryloyl salicylic acid, phenylethyl resorcinol, and ferulic acid in cosmetics using high-performance liquid chromatography.
This standard is essential for the cosmetics industry as it provides a reliable and accurate method for measuring the concentration of these three active ingredients. Capryloyl salicylic acid is a popular ingredient known for its exfoliating and brightening properties. Phenylethyl resorcinol is a skin brightening agent that helps to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation. Ferulic acid is an antioxidant that provides protection against free radicals and environmental stressors.
The HPLC method outlined in this standard allows for efficient separation and quantification of these three active ingredients in cosmetics. It involves the use of a high-performance liquid chromatography system equipped with a suitable detector, column, and mobile phase. The sample is prepared by extraction and then injected into the HPLC system for analysis. The chromatographic peaks corresponding to capryloyl salicylic acid, phenylethyl resorcinol, and ferulic acid are identified and quantified based on their retention times and peak areas.
By following the guidelines outlined in GB/T 42425-2023, cosmetics manufacturers can ensure the accuracy and consistency of their product formulations. This standard contributes to the overall quality control and safety of cosmetics, providing consumers with reliable and effective products.
