Abstract
A simple method was developed for the determination of hydrophilic whitening agents (ascorbyl glucoside, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, arbutin, hydroquinone, and kojic acid) in bleaching cosmetics by high performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection. The samples were prepared using microdialysis and were separated within ten minutes using isocratic elution. Linear calibration was achieved for concentrations between 0.10 and 10.00 micromolar. The limits of detection were from 0.6 to 2.0 nanomolar; the recoveries were between 91.43 and 108.04 percent, and the relative standard deviation was less than 6.88 percent. This method was used to determine whitening compounds in several cosmetics with on-line microdialysis and the zero net flux method. The procedure was fast, simple, selective, and suitable for routine analysis.
