Analysis of Cosmetic Products Using Different IR Spectroscopy Techniques

Abstract

This article describes the application of IR spectroscopic methods in the study of the composition of finished cosmetic products. Four spectroscopic techniques: TS (transmission spectroscopy), PAS (photoacoustic spectroscopy), ATR (attenuated total reflectance) and DRS (diffuse reflectance spectroscopy) were used for this purpose. Tested cosmetic products were of different consistency and application. The choice of spectroscopic techniques was dictated by the physical state and consistency of the sample. 1.
