Measurement of Titanium Dioxide in Cosmetic Products with X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry

Multi-element method for determination of trace elements in sunscreens by ICP-AES

“…It is interesting that not more than 80 papers have been published for all types of suncare products analysis in the period 1976-2004 as described in a critical review by Salvador and Chisvert [1]. However, the majority of the reports refer to organic UV absorbers by liquid chromatographic (LC) methods [1,8,9,[14][15][16][17] and very few to inorganic UV filters [4,[18][19][20].…”

“…Inductively coupled plasma techniques (ICP-AES and ICP-MS) are very convenient multi-element tools for routine analysis applicable to a wide variety of applications including cosmetic and pharmaceutical, because they offer the significant advantage of improved sensitivity and selectivity as compared to other techniques [20][21][22][23][24].…”

“…Zinc and iron were determined independently by flame AAS after emulsion formation of the samples with isobutyl methyl ketone (IBMK) and Nemol as surfactant [4]. XRF compared to ICP-AES was also used for titanium in cosmetic products [20].…”

Direct determination of Ti content in sunscreens with laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy: Line selection method for high TiO 2 nanoparticle concentration

“…These techniques include flame atomic absorption spectrometry [3], X-ray fluorescence spectrometry [4], inductive coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry [5][6][7], and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry [8]. All the reported techniques exhibit satisfactory performance for the analytical purpose.…”

Classification and discrimination of some cosmetic face powders using XRF spectrometry with chemometric data analysis

“…If they can be analysed successfully using X‐ray fluorescence (XRF) techniques, their elemental profile may be useful in identifying samples made by different manufacturers. Kawauchi et al reported the measurement of titanium dioxide in cosmetic products with XRF spectrometry . Misra et al successfully applied energy dispersive XRF to the analysis of cosmetic evidence in nail polishes .…”
