Abstract
Preservatives are used
in cosmetic formulations to provide protection against microbial growth to
ensure the safety and the quality during their shelf life. Benzyl alcohol,
sodium benzoate and sorbic acid are the preservatives that can be used in green
cosmetic formulations. According to the cosmetic legislation usage of above
indicated preservatives are restricted and thus determination and
quantification of them from the cosmetic products have become important. In
this study analytical methods are given to enable the determination of benzyl
alcohol, sodium benzoate and sorbic acid. The methods are based on extracting
the preservative agents from four different pharmaceutical form (solution,
emulsion, gel and cream) of the various cosmetic matrices and later on detection in the scope of the basic
chromatographic data and test parameters by High Performance Liquid
Chromatography (HPLC) system with UV Detector.
