You would like to carry out a CSAR analysis of 1.4 dioxane
1.4 dioxane and cosmetics
1.4-dioxane is a chemical classified as a probable human carcinogen by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In the cosmetics industry, this molecule can be formed unintentionally during manufacturing processes, particularly when surfactants or ethoxylated compounds are used.
What is the CSAR ?
The CSAR (Cosmetic Supervision and Administration Regulation) is the Chinese regulation that came into force on 1ᵉʳ January 2021 on the supervision and administration of cosmetic products. It replaced the previous regulation of 1989 and aims to strengthen the quality, safety and efficacy of cosmetics on the Chinese market.
CSAR and 1.4 dioxane
In China, the CSAR requires that cosmetic products do not contain any banned substances and that impurity levels are controlled to ensure consumer safety. Although 1.4 dioxane is not explicitly listed as a prohibited substance, its presence as an impurity must be minimised as far as possible. Chinese authorities may require tests to detect and quantify 1,4-dioxane in cosmetic products to ensure that it does not exceed levels considered safe.
The FILAB laboratory carries out the 1.4 dioxane determination in accordance with CSAR
Why choose FILAB for the determination of 1.4-dioxane according to CSAR ?
The FILAB laboratory is the ideal partner for the determination of 1.4-dioxane within the framework of the CSAR, thanks to its expertise in chemical analysis, its state-of-the-art equipment (GC-MS, HS-GC-MS, FTIR, NMR) and its interpretation of results to assess compliance with standards (REACH, FDA, etc.). It guarantees accurate results that comply with Chinese regulatory requirements, while offering personalised support, from method validation to formulation optimisation.
