The detection of 1,4-dioxane in cosmetics is key to ensuring the safety of products, as this impurity may be present in trace amounts in certain products such as shampoos, deodorants, toothpaste, and even mouthwashes. Although 1,4-dioxane is not used as a cosmetic ingredient, it can be formed as a byproduct in the manufacture of certain ethoxylated cosmetic ingredients, such as detergents, foaming agents, emulsifiers, or solvents.
To ensure product safety, the quantitative determination of 1,4-dioxane in cosmetic ingredients or formulations for quality control purposes requires the use of accurate, specific, and sensitive techniques. The analysis can also support the selection of new ingredients or benchmark suppliers. At Daji Belle, we have deployed GC-MS methods with headspace injectors to achieve quantification of 1,4-dioxane using in-house calibration. Our experienced cosmetic testing experts have validated this method on a range of finished products, such as body washes and shampoos.
