In order to check the compliance of preservatives use in cosmetics, there were 152 samples randomly collected by local health bureaus from beauty salons, hair salons, department stores, cosmetic stores, and grocery stores in Taiwan from January to September, 2016. The samples were analyzed for preservatives, including benzoic acid, salicylic acid, sorbic acid, dehydroacetic acid, methylisothiazolinone, methylchloroisothiazolinone, parahydroxybenzoic acid ester and formaldehyde by high performance liquid chromatography. Among them, there were 90 domestic cosmetics, 61 imported cosmetics, and the other one is not marked manufacturing country. The results showed that there were two products non-compliance with regulations (1.3% non-compliance rate), one imported product contained salicylic acid over 0.2% that had to apply permission license before marketing. The other is domestic product which contained methylchloroisothiazolinone beyond the regulatory limits. The results were sent to administrative authorities as reference for monitoring the quality of products. |
