Determination of Selected Phthalates in Some Commercial Cosmetic Products By HPLC-UV.

CONCLUSION: Phthalate esters, which are mostly detected in the content of fragrance, cream and nail polish products and in our research in general, are DEP (1852.1 μg mL-1 ± 2192.0), DBP (691.3 μg mL-1 ± 1378.5) and DMP (340.7 μg mL-1 ±323.7) respectively. Phthalates were found in the content of all 48 cosmetic products examined, and the most detected phthalates in general average was DEP (581.7 μg mL-1 + 1405.2) with a rate of 79.2%. The unexpectedly high phthalate content in the examined cosmetic products revealed a great risk of these products on human health. The developed method is a simple, sensitive, reliable and economical alternative for the determination of phthalates in the content of cosmetic products, it can be used to identify phthalate esters in different products after some modifications.
