Industrialists in the field of cosmetics, you wish to analyze your products according to the standard ISO/TR 18818 : Analytical method - Detection and quantitative determination of DEA
What is a cosmetic product?
A cosmetic product is a substance or a mixture put in contact with the superficial parts of the human body.
The purpose of the latter may be to :
- cleaning
- perfume
- modify the appearance
- protect
- maintain in good condition or correct body odor, etc…
Thus, cosmetic products include a wide range of products including creams, makeup, soaps or depilatories.
What is the ISO 18818 standard and why analyze your products according to it?
ISO/TR 18818 is a standard that describes the method for the detection of diethanolamine in cosmetics and raw materials. Diethanolamine is a molecule particularly used in cosmetic products. Indeed, diethanolamine guarantees a sensory and pleasant texture or serves as a replacement for ammonia in “ammonia-free” products.
However, diethanolamine would represent health risks.
Indeed, diethanolamine interacts with nitrites and can develop nitrosamines. These are extremely dangerous and have a highly carcinogenic power.
Thus, a laboratory specialized in the analysis of cosmetics according to ISO/TR 18818 is an essential step in the verification of the conformity of your products.
