Abstract

No matter how small amount of heavy metals it may be cause skin allergies through percutaneous adsorption when existing in cosmetic products as impurities. In order to develop a highly sensitive method for simultaneous determination of $Pb^{2+},\;Fe^{2+},\;Cu^{2+},\;Ni^{2+},\;Zn^{2+},\;Co^{2+},\;Cd^{2+},\;and\;Mn^{2+}$ in coloring agents and cosmetic products with rapidity and accuracy, we carried out the determination on ion chromatography. All of these metals are well separated through a bifunctional ion-exchange column(IonPac CS5A) and detected by post-column reaction and spectrophotometric detection. The calibration graphs are linear($r^2>0.999$) in the range $0.1{\sim}1000{\mu}g/mL$. Detection limits for 200 ${\mu}L$ of sample solution are at the level of ${\mu}g/L$, which is sufficient for judging whether the product is safe or not. The relative standard deviations(RSDs) of the retention time and the peak area are less than 0.21 and 1.24%, respectively. The recovery rates are $97{\sim}104%$. The new method was applied to analyze the amount of heavy metals which were contained in 22 cosmetic products and 11 coloring agents.

화장품 중 불순물로서 미량의 중금속이 함유되어 있는 경우 이들의 피부흡착이 알러지를 일으킬 수가 있다. 이에 중금속으로부터 안전한 화장품인지를 신속하고 정확하게 판단하는 것이 중요하여 색소원료와 화장품 중 미량의 중금속들($Pb^{2+},\;Fe^{2+},\;Cu^{2+},\;Ni^{2+},\;Zn^{2+},\;Co^{2+},\;Cd^{2+}$$Mn^{2+}$)을 동시에 분석할 수 있는 이온크로마토그래피 분석법을 개발하였다. 8종의 중금속들은 이온교환 컬럼(IonPac CS5A)으로 잘 분리되었고, post-column 장치와 UV 분광기로 검출하였다. $0.1{\sim}1000{\mu}g/mL$ 농도범위에서 8종의 중금속들의 검량선은 선형적이었고($r^2>0.999$), 검출한계는 제품이 안전한지를 판단할 수 있는 ${\mu}g/L$ 수준이었다. 피크들의 머무름 시간과 면적의 상대표준편차는 0.21%과 0.24%이고, 회수율은 $97{\sim}104%$이다. 이 결과들은 개발된 분석방법이 화장품 중의 미량의 중금속들을 신속하고 정확하게 분석할 수 있다는 것을 보여준다. 본 분석방법은 22개 화장품과 11개 색소원료 중의 중금속들의 함량을 분석하는데 활용하였다.
