In modern society, the use of the cosmetics covers a large number of products used by the consumers at daily rate or, at least, very frequently. For this reason, the people are motivated to carry out a careful production control to ensure the quality and efficacy of the product as well as the safety of the consumer.
The European regulation on cosmetic products ensures the protection of the consumer through prohibition and restriction of the availability of certain substances in the manufacture and marketing of cosmetic products. Nonetheless, official methods of cosmetic product analysis are rare and some of the existing methods need to be modernised in line with advances in regulations and analytical chemistry, so the needs of the sector are not yet covered. Therefore, it¿s important to develop methods that can be used for the determination of components in both raw materials and cosmetic formulations of all kinds.
It has also been demonstrated that some cosmetic ingredients can be partially absorbed through the skin of consumers. Therefore, analytical methods with appropriate characteristics are required for application in studies of percutaneous absorption and excretion of...In modern society, the use of the cosmetics covers a large number of products used by the consumers at daily rate or, at least, very frequently.

It has also been demonstrated that some cosmetic ingredients can be partially absorbed through the skin of consumers. Therefore, analytical methods with appropriate characteristics are required for application in studies of percutaneous absorption and excretion of cosmetic ingredients to assess the current ingredients and, if necessary, to prohibit or restrict the use of some of them and replace them by others, if deemed appropriate for the safety of consumers. In addition, there are also studies indicating that some cosmetic ingredients are emerging pollutants and there is a need to develop analytical methods that can be applied for environmental studies to assess the impact of existing ingredients and, if necessary, to take appropriate decisions to preserve the relevant ecosystems.
Since its foundation (1999), our research group has been working on the design, development, validation and application of methods for the analytical control of cosmetic products and raw materials, as well as their impact on humans and the environment, determining the concentration of authorised, restricted and prohibited components.
