Detection of UV filters in cosmetic products (sunscreen) by HPTLC and confirmation by HPTLC-MS
13 Apr 2020Sunscreen products contain UV filters that absorb or reflect a part of the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The identification of UV filters in cream can be a challenging task because of the multiple ingredients used in the cosmetic formulation. After simple sample preparation followed by HPTLC separation, the presence of the target compounds can be confirmed by mass detection.

Thin Layer ChromatographyThin-layer chromatography (TLC), also called planar chromatography, is an inexpensive and simple liquid chromatographic technique used to separate and identify small amounts of compound in a mixture, monitor progress of a reaction or determine purity of substance. TLC plates come in multiple sizes with common adsorbent layers being silica, aluminum oxide or cellulose and high-performance (HP-TLC) plates are also available for increased sensitivity. Other equipment needed includes TLC developing chambers, applicators, TLC sprayers and visualizing devices, such as a viewing cabinet and UV lamp.

It is widely used in fields like biochemistry, pharmaceuticals, and environmental analysis. By exploiting differences in the interaction of substances with a stationary phase and a mobile phase, chromatography enables precise purification and quantification of compounds. Whether you're working with complex biological samples or industrial chemicals, chromatography is essential for obtaining high-quality results.
