A novel method for extraction, quantification, and identification of microplastics in CreamType of cosmetic products
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers developed and validated an analytical method for detecting microplastics that have been unintentionally incorporated into cream cosmetic products. The method successfully extracted and identified polyethylene microspheres spiked into cosmetic cream matrices. Accurate detection methods for microplastics in cosmetics are important for regulatory monitoring and for understanding a significant but often overlooked source of microplastic exposure through skin contact.
Development of Analytical Methodology for Determination of Microbeads from Paste in Some Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers developed an optimal method for extracting and quantifying plastic microbeads from cosmetic paste formulations using vacuum filtration, optical microscopy, and spectroscopy. The validated method addresses an analytical gap and can be applied to regulatory testing of personal care products for microplastic content.
Microplastics detection in some cosmetic samples by accelerated solvent extraction and Micro-FTIR
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers developed an analytical method using accelerated solvent extraction and micro-FTIR to detect microplastic beads and fragments in cosmetic products such as creams. The method was designed for a detection threshold of 0.025% by weight and achieved reliable recovery rates using both gravimetric and spectroscopic analysis. The study addresses the growing regulatory need for standardized methods to identify both intentionally added and unintentionally released microplastics in consumer products.
Identification, Quantification, and Characterization of Microplastics in Skincare and Treatment Creams: A Potential Health Concern Related to the Exposure Pathway
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers analyzed 21 skincare and treatment cream products for microplastic contamination and found 109 microplastic particles of various sizes, shapes, and chemical compositions, including polyethylene and polyester. They surveyed over 354 consumers in Romania about cosmetic usage habits to estimate annual exposure levels. The study assessed potential health risks from dermal contact with microplastics in cosmetic products, raising concerns about this often-overlooked exposure pathway.
Identification, characterisation and implication of releasing microplastics from personal care and cosmetic products in India
AI summary Read the abstract
Analysis of ten personal care and cosmetic products sold in India—including toothpaste, face scrubs, and eyeliner—confirmed the presence of polyethylene microplastics in nearly all samples, with additional traces of PVC and PET detected by FTIR spectroscopy. These findings highlight that everyday consumer products are a direct primary source of microplastic release into wastewater, contributing to broader environmental and human exposure.
