“…Yazar et al reported that the detection frequency of 2-phenoxyethanol in cosmetics and detergents was detected 39% and 19%, respectively. 18 In comparison to our result, the detection frequency of 2-phenoxyethanol seems to follow the similar trend. 2-Phenoxyethanol (< 1%) was used as a preservative in all the samples.…”

Alkoxyalcohols are used as solvents or preservatives in various consumer products such as wet wipes. The metabolites of alkoxyalcohols are known to be chronically toxic and carcinogenic to animals. Thus, an analytical method is needed to monitor alkoxyalcohols in wet wipes. The aim of this study was to develop a simultaneous analytical method for 14 alkoxyalcohols using headspace gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry to analyze the wet wipes. This method was developed by comparing with various headspace extraction parameters. The linear calibration curves were obtained for the method (r 2 > 0.995). The limit of detection of alkoxyalcohols ranged from 2 to 200 ng mL −1. The precision of the determinative method was less than 18.20% coefficient of variation both intra and inter days. The accuracy of the method ranged from 82.86% to 119.83%. (2-Methoxymethylethoxy)propanol, 2-phenoxyethanol, and 1-phenoxy-2-propanol were mainly detected in wet wipes.

StreszczenieChlorometyloizotiazolinon (chloromethylisothiazolinone -MCI) i metyloizotiazolinon (methylisothiazolinone -MI) od końca lat 70. XX w. do 2014 r. stanowiły konserwanty powszechnie stosowane w kosmetykach, artykułach chemii gospodarczej i produktach przemysłowych. Pierwsze przypadki alergii kontaktowej na mieszaninę MCI/MI odnotowano w latach 1980-1982 w Szwecji, a następnie w wielu ośrodkach europejskich obserwowano istotny wzrost częstości uczuleń na te związki. Został on zahamowany dzięki wprowadzeniu w Europie i niektórych krajach pozaeuropejskich regulacji prawnych dotyczących dopuszczalnego stęże-nia MCI i MI w produktach konsumenckich i przemysłowych. Zezwolenie od 2000 r. na stosowanie bez limitu samego MI w produktach przemysłowych i od 2005 w kosmetykach w stężeniu do 100 ppm spowodowało w ostatnich latach znaczący wzrost liczby uczulonych na ten związek. Alergiczne kontaktowe zapalenie skóry związane z MI występuje zarówno u dorosłych, jak i dzieci, charakteryzuje się często ciężkim przebiegiem, a do wywołania objawów nierzadko dochodzi na drodze powietrznopochodnej. Do najistotniejszych źródeł uczulenia na MI należą kosmetyki i farby. W odpowiedzi na narastający problem epidemii alergii kontaktowej na izotiazolinony opracowano rekomendacje sugerujące zakaz stosowania MI w kosmetykach typu "leave-on" oraz uznanie za dopuszczalne stężenia 15 ppm w produktach kosmetycznych "rinse-off". Zalecenia te prawdopodobnie zostaną wprowadzone w życie w 2014 r. Med. Pr. 2014;65(4):543-554 Słowa kluczowe: izotiazolinony, chlorometyloizotiazolinon, metyloizotiazolinon, alergia kontaktowa, epidemia Abstract Chloromethylisothiazolinone (MCI) and methylisothiazolinone (MI) have been widely used as preservatives in cosmetics, household products and industrial products since the late 1970s. First cases of contact allergy to the MCI/MI combination were noted in 1980-1982 in Sweden. Then, a significant increase in the frequency of sensitization to these compounds was observed in many European centers. The increase has been stopped by the introduction of legislation on their maximum concentrations in consumer and industrial products in Europe and in some non-European countries. But approval of the use of MI alone without limits in industrial products (from 2000) and at a maximum concentration of 100 ppm in cosmetics (from 2005) resulted in an unprecedented increase in the number of individuals sensitized to this compound. Allergic contact dermatitis due to MI occurs in both adults and children. It is often manifested by severe symptoms, which may be also induced by airborne exposure. The most important sources of sensitization include cosmetic products and paints. To counteract the increasing problem of contact allergy epidemic to MI, the recommendations have been developed, suggesting the ban on the use of MI in "leave-on" cosmetics and maximum concentration of 15 ppm in "rinse-off" products. These recommendations are likely to be implemented in 2014. Med Pr 2014;65 (4) WSTĘPZwiązki o właściwościach konserwujący...

“…Most cosmetic products contain fragrances, many of which are sensitizers [11][12][13][14]. It seems to be rather difficult to produce scented personal care products with fragrances that are not labelled.…”

Background: Cosmetic products need not be classified and labelled according to the Regulation on Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) in the European Union, even if they contain dangerous substances. What would happen without this exception? Would cosmetic products have to be labelled if they were treated like any other consumer product? Results: The criteria of the CLP Regulation were applied to a selection of cosmetic product formulas in a conservative approach. All but one product contain hazardous ingredients in amounts that would lead to classification and labelling of the mixtures. 85% of the products analyzed would have to be labelled because of potential negative effects to the eye, and 52% because of potential negative effects to the skin. The signal word WARNING would have to be on the labels of 64%, DANGER would have to be on 33% of the products. Conclusions:The results here show that it is urgent to inform consumers about the potential dangers of personal care products, because cosmetics need to be applied even with more care than any other consumer product. Classification and labelling according to the CLP Regulation is a very good means to improve the risk communication for consumers. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that the exception for cosmetic products should be repealed in the next amendment of the CLP Regulation.
