The annexes issued by the Ministry of Health (XEGUMX / 2005) on the methods of analysis required for the control of cosmetic product compositions in 2005 contain methods for the identification and detection of salts. In this communiqué, the principles for sampling of cosmetic products, quantities to be taken for analysis and identification and determination of various chemicals are included. Two of these methods are for the detection of salts in cosmetic products:

• Method three is for the detection of free sodium and potassium hydroxides. This method is used to identify cosmetic products containing a certain amount of sodium or potassium hydroxide and to detect free sodium or potassium hydroxides in hair enhancer and cuticle dissolving preparations.
• Method four is for the determination of oxalic acid and its alkali salts in hair care products. This method is suitable for the detection of oxalic acid and its alkali salts in hair care products. This method is used in colorless solutions based on water or alcohol and for lotions containing five percent oxalic acid or an equivalent amount of alkali oxalate.

Based on their authorization from national and international accreditation bodies (accredited), some laboratories conduct basic chemical analysis processes and conduct salt analyzes in this context.

In the Communiqué No: IEG-2005 / 2 issued by the Ministry of Health, methods of analysis for the control of hair care product compositions in cosmetic products are explained. In the communiqué, rodisonic acid di sodium salt and stabilized salt form.

In addition, in the communiqué numbered IEG-2005/5, the method for determination of soluble barium and soluble strontium in pigments in salt or lacquer form is explained.

 

Accredited laboratories also perform salt analyzes within the scope of basic physical and chemical analyzes. The laboratories that will carry out these analyzes must be accredited in accordance with the TS EN ISO / IEC 17025 General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories.
