초록/요약
Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene, known as BTEX, are prohibited ingredients in cosmetics due to their toxicity and carcinogenic effects. This study presents the establishment of HS-GC-MS method for determining BTEX in some cosmetic products and its application to other cosmetic formulations following the ISO 12787 approach. For efficient extraction of BTEX and their isotope internal standards (IS) from cosmetic matrices, headspace conditions were developed for salt modifiers, extraction temperature, and time. As the study of optimization, the developed method used a VF-624ms column after headspace extraction at 80°C for 20 min. Mass spectrometry conditions were electron impact (EI) whose temperature of source at 200 °C and quadrupole at 150 °C. Selective ion monitoring was used for subsequent analysis of BTEX and IS. Method validation following the ICH Q2(R1) guideline was carried out for the cosmetic matrices of lotion and cream, essence and oil, toner, and mask. Method validation results showed acceptable performance characteristics including specificity, linearity (R2 ≥ 0.999), detection limit=1.1–3.9 ng/g, quantitation limit=3.2–23.3 ng/g, accuracy=79.9–107.9%, and precision=0.2– 4.5%. The established method was successfully applied to four matrices of cosmetics circulated in Korea. Following the ISO 12787 approach, the developed method was applied to other formulations (cleansers, wet tissues, deodorants, makeup bases, and balms). BTEX were not found in most of the samples and all the parameters were successfully proved, with (recovery 101.1±9.7%, and matrix effect 93.2±8.1%). It is notable that our method can be used to identify the unintentional contamination of BTEX in cosmetic products and contribute to quality control.
