After a while, cosmetic products that are used every day show allergic reactions such as redness, skin sensitivity or watery eyes in some people because of the dyes and odors in their formula. Even over time, harmful effects of cosmetic products emerge from diseases such as shortness of breath and asthma to cancer. Some cosmetics, if used for a long time, parallel to the accumulation of the chemical in the body is increasing effects are emerging. If the rate of excretion of chemicals in the formulas of cosmetic products is low, it may show highly toxic properties for the body.

For example, diethanolamine and triethanolamine, which are present in known moisturizing creams, do not exhibit cancerous properties by themselves. However, when these substances are combined with nitrite containing products, they may have cancer-causing effects.

Alpha-hydroxy acids, on the other hand, are used in moisturizing, cleansing and eliminating age spots. However, when used, it increases the sensitivity of the skin to sunlight. It also increases the aging rate of the skin and causes possible skin cancers.

For these reasons, it is important to determine and analyze the total acidic levels of acids used in cosmetic products. Acidity accredited laboratories also perform total acidity analyzes within the scope of physical and chemical analyzes. The legal regulations issued in these studies or the standards published by domestic and foreign organizations are complied with. Here are a few of these standards:

• To determine the number of acidity and fatty acids: TS 54 Soap
• For determination of non-volatile substances in rinse aid: TS 13410 / T1 Rinse additives - Used in dishwashers - Rinse aid
• For determination of acidity (in H2SO4): TS 13411 / T1 Toilet cleaning agent
• For determination of total acidity (in Na2O): TS 13414 / T1 Lime, rust and slurry solvent
• For determination of acidity in detergent: TS 10679 2-Aminonaphthalene-1-Sulfonic acid (tobias acid)
• For the determination of total acid (in HCl): TS 883 / T1 Hydrochloric acid - used in industry and cleaning
• Determination of total acidity (in HCl): TS 5177 Industrial hydrochloric acid - Determination of total acidity - Titrimetric method
