Determination of 38 kinds of permitted colorants in
cosmetics - High performance liquid chromatography
1 Scope
This Standard specifies the principle, reagents and materials, instruments and
equipment, sample preparation, analysis steps, result calculation, recovery rate and
precision, tolerance and other contents for the high performance liquid chromatography
determination of 38 kinds of permitted colorants in cosmetics.
The high performance liquid chromatography specified in this Standard applies to the
quantitative determination of 38 permitted colorants (excluding lakes) in lipsticks, nail
polishes, powders and other cosmetics.
Refer to Table A.1 in Appendix A for the detection-limit and quantitation-limit of the
target of this standard method.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this
document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references,
the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
GB/T 6682, Water for analytical laboratory use - Specification and test methods
3 Principle
Use the tetrahydrofuran-methanol-water system to simultaneously extract the water-
soluble and oil-soluble colorants in cosmetics. After centrifuging to remove the base
material, use methanol to redissolve and dilute the extract which has been concentrated
by nitrogen blowing; use the reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatographic
separation, and the standard curve external standard method for quantitation. For
cosmetic samples which are confirmed by high performance liquid chromatography to
be out of range or out of limit in using permitted colorants, mass spectrometry
confirmation shall be taken when necessary.
