After the outbreak of COVID-19, There were more and more products on the markets that claimed antibacterial functions, including mouthwashes, baby wipes, hand sanitizers and shower gel in which preservatives were added. High concentrations of preservatives may cause skin irritation and sensitization. In order to ensure the safety of consumers using cosmetics, a test method utilizing ultra performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry was established. This simple and rapid method enabled simultaneous analysis of 8 preservatives in 15 minutes on an ACQUITY BEH Shield RP18 column. Calibration curves were linear in the concentration range of 2 - 20 μg/mL for hexamidine diisethionate and chlorhexidine, and 0.01 - 0.2 μg/mL for the others. The correlation coefficients were all greater than 0.998. The recovery ranges were between 76.7 and 114.0%, and the coefficient of variation (CV) was all less than 11.2% tested in three types of blank matrix including shampoo, mouthwash and baby wipes. The limit of quantification was 0.02% for hexamidine diisethionate and chlorhexidine(shampoo/shower), and 0.002% for chlorhexidine (mouthwashes/baby wipes), and 0.0001% for the others. A surveillance consisted with 40 commercial samples including antibacterial shampoo, body wash, hand sanitizers, cleanser, mouthwash, baby wipes, and lotion showed that chlorhexidine was the top detected preservative. |
