A comprehensive analytical method based on isotope dilution-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry has been developed for the determination of N-nitrosodiethanolamine in cosmetics. Water-soluble cosmetic samples were extracted with water. The extract was centrifuged, then the upper solution was cleaned up by an Oasis HLB solid phase extraction cartridge. Oil-soluble cosmetic samples were extracted by liquid-liquid partition with dichloromethane and water. Qualitative and quantitative analyses were carried out for the analyte under the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode after the chromatographic separation on a Waters Atlantis T3 column (150 mm x 2.1 mm, 3 microm ). The quantitation was performed with deuterated N-nitrosodiethanolamine as internal standard. The limit of quantitation (LOQ) for N-nitrosodiethanolamine was 50 microg/kg. The mean recoveries were 89.1%-98.2% at the spiked levels of 50-250 microg/kg, with the intra-day precision less than 9% and the inter-day precision less than 11%. The method is suitable for the determination of NDELA in cosmetics.

N-nitrosodiethanolamine (NDELA) is a carcinogenic contaminant of concern in the cosmetics industry. Contaminated raw material, degradation, reactions of ingredients of the formulation, or migration of packaging material can be responsible for the presence of NDELA in the final product. Liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry is the most widely accepted technique for the quantitation of NDELA in cosmetic products.

A new analytical method for the simultaneous determination of trace levels of seven prohibited N-nitrosamines (N-nitrosodimethylamine, N-nitrosoethylmethylamine, N-nitrosopyrrolidine, N-nitrosodiethylamine, N-nitrosopiperidine, N-nitrosomorpholine, and N-nitrosodiethanolamine) in cosmetic products has been developed. The method is based on vortex-assisted reversed-phase dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction, which allows the extraction of highly polar compounds, followed by liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry. The variables involved in the extraction process were studied to obtain the highest enrichment factor.

N-nitrosamines and their precursors found in cosmetics may be carcinogenic in humans. Thus the aim of this study was to carry out risk assessment for N-nitrosamines (N-nitrosodiethanolamine [NDELA], N-nitrosodiethylamine [NDEA]) and amines (triethanolamine [TEA], diethanolamine [DEA]) levels in cosmetics determined using validated liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) procedures. NDELA and NDEA concentrations were present at levels of "not detected" (N.

N-nitrosodiethanolamine (NDELA), a type of nitrosamine, is a possible human carcinogen that may form in cosmetic products. The aim of this study was to examine the formation and inhibition of NDELA through chemical reactions of secondary amines including mono-ethanolamine, di-ethanolamine (DEA), and tri-ethanolamine (TEA), and sodium nitrite (SN) under varying conditions such as pH, temperature, and fluorescent, ultraviolet (UV), and visual light (VIS) using liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy. In a mixture of TEA and SN under acidic conditions pH 2, residual NDELA concentrations rose significantly under various storage conditions in the following order: 50°C > 40°C > UV (2 W/m) > VIS (4000 lux) > fluorescent light > 25°C > 10°C.

A new analytical method for the determination of N-nitrosodiethanolamine (NDELA), a very harmful compound not allowed in cosmetic products, is presented. The method is based on a new approach of dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) useful for extraction of highly polar compounds, called reversed-phase DLLME (RP-DLLME), followed by liquid chromatography-ultraviolet/visible (LC-UV/Vis) determination. The variables involved in the RP-DLLME process were studied to provide the best enrichment factors.
