进口化妆品曲酸添加情况的调查

〔目的〕通过对目前国内进口化妆品市场中曲酸使用情况的调查,形成1份比较有应用价值的报告,填补这一领域的科研空白,为今后加强进口化妆品的检验检疫监督管理提供科学依据。〔方法〕对39份涉及20个品牌的进口祛斑美白化妆品,采用高效液相色谱仪测定曲酸含量。〔结果〕39份样品中,有3份检出含曲酸,检出率为7.69%,曲酸浓度低于0.01%。〔结论〕通过分析可知,技术能力强的化妆品企业比技术能力弱的企业更可能使用曲酸;但也不能忽视规模较小企业在技术未成熟下为降低成本,追求美白效果而使用曲酸。对曲酸安全性有了明确认知后,将有助于检验检疫机构科学地开展进口化妆品曲酸使用情况监管工作。
