title: Validation of HPLC method for the simultaneous and quantitative determination of 12 UV-filters in cosmetics.
abstract: The aim of the study was the validation of a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for the simultaneous and quantitative determination of twelve commonly used organic UV-filters (phenylbenzimidazole sulfonic acid, benzophenone-3, isoamyl p-methoxycinnamate, diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate, octocrylene, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, ethylhexyl salicylate, butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane, diethylhexyl butamido triazone, ethylhexyl triazone, methylene bis-benzotriazolyl tetramethylbutylphenol and bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine) contained in suncare products. The separation and quantitative determination was performed in <30 min, using a Symmetry Shield(R) C18 (5 microm) column from Waters and a mobile phase (gradient mode) consisting of ethanol and acidified water. UV measurements were carried out at multi-wavelengths, according to the absorption of the analytes.
