Determination of alpha-Tocopherol Acetate in an Anti-Aging Cosmetic Cream by Gas Chromatography

摘要

A gas chromatographic method was applied by using the GC-FID tehnique for the determination of alpha-tocopherol acetate in an anti-aging properly developed cosmetic formulation. A simple methanol: acetonitrile organic solvent mixture (50:50v/v) was required for sample preparation and the separation of the studied compound was carried out in specific chromatographic conditions. The analysis was carried out in proper developed anti-aging cream sample and satisfactory results were obtained for the recovery of the studied compound.
