Antibiotics Test

The some chemical substances contained in cosmetics can cause serious harm to human health, especially some manufacturers have added prohibited and restricted substances in cosmetics. For example, adding antibiotics to cosmetics, the antibiotics commonly added in cosmetics mainly include chloramphenicol, metronidazole, tetracycline, quinolones, imidazoles, etc. Especially in anti-acne cosmetics, some manufacturers illegally add various antibiotics in pursuit of short-term efficacy of products. Long-term use will induce flora imbalance, cause contact dermatitis, and even lead to serious internal organ damage, which is life-threatening.

Background

When detecting antibiotics in cosmetics, the first problem we face is to separate the antibiotics. The form of cosmetics can be divided into solid and liquid. Usually, cosmetics with liquid matrix are easy to conduct sample processing, and the recovery rate is also good. However, because the volume of cosmetics such as facial cleanser and gel matrix is not easy to be fixed, and these products usually have too many surfactants, it will lead to backward transfer of the retention time of the sample to the added standard substance in the sample recovery test, affecting the accuracy of the test. In this case, we need to remove the mechanical interference in cosmetics, maintain a constant retention time and high recovery rate.
