市售具美白作用化粧品中摻加對苯二酚(Hydroquinone)成分及汞鹽之調查

INVESTIGATION OF ADULTERATION OF HYDROQUINONE AND MERCURY SALTS IN MARKETED COSMETICS LABELED AS WHITENING PRODUCTS

本調查旨在瞭解市面上標榜肌膚美白作用的化粧品中是否有違法摻加對苯二酚（Hydroquinone）及汞鹽的情形。檢體係於八十二年八月至八十三年一月間由臺灣地區二十一縣市抽購該類產品計一百件，以薄層層析法及高效液相層析法檢測其是否含對苯二酚，並予以定量。結果有十四件檢出，佔總件數之14%，應是廠商為達美白效果，違法添加，十四件中Hydroquinone含量大於4%以上者有十件，小於4%者四件；另以二苯卡腙和二苯硫卡腙定性法以及原子吸光法加驗其是否摻含汞鹽，分析結果有十件呈陽性反應，佔總件數之10%。

According to the administrative bylaw of cosmetic hygiene, marketed products should not be adulterated by hydroquinone and mercury salts. From September 1993 to January 1994, 100 samples were randomly purchased throughout the Taiwan area and analyzed by TLC, HPLC and A. A. The results showed 14 samples adulterated with hydroquinone and 10 samples contaminated with mercury salts.
