In the present work, a method based on solvent extraction and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) has been validated for the determination of 1,4-dioxane in cosmetics. Various solvents including ethyl acetate, hexane, methanol, dichloromethane and acetone have been used for the extraction of 1,4-dioxane, among them the ethyl acetate was found to be the most efficient extracting solvent. This method has offered excellent quality parameters for instance linearity (R2>0,9991), limit of detection (LOD, 0,00065–0,00091µg/mL), limit of quantification (LOQ, 0,00217–0,00304µg/mL) and, precision intra-day (1,65–2,60%, n=5) and inter-day (0,16– 0,32%, n=5) in terms of relative standard deviation (RSD%). A total of thirty-nine cosmetic samples of different brands and origin have been studied. Among them, the 1,4-dioxane was found in twenty-three samples at the levels between 0.15µg/mL and 9.92µg/mL, whereas in sixteen samples (MC5, HS1, HS2, SG1-SG5, BL4 and HP1–HP6) was found to be not detected. The recovery values were achieved between 93% and 99% in both low and high level of spiked samples. In comparison to the traditional analytical techniques, the proposed method was found to be very sensitive and cost-effective for the routine analysis of 1,4-dioxane at low concentration in cosmetics.

Global customization or Mobile mini-production with the possibility of an industrial giant
Nuzhnenko N.S., General Director of KorolevPharm
Global customization is an individualization for everyone or an individual approach to everyone. The consumer and the manufacturer-supplier have dreamt of it, since the individual product in our society has been becoming more and more popular. Customization goes further and further and permeates everywhere.
