Analytical proposal to detect prohibited theophylline in cosmetic products

Do you want to know if your cosmetic products comply with the next updating of REG 1223/2009?

Theophylline is a molecule naturally present in small amount in plants such as tea, cocoa beans, guarana, clinically used for asthma therapy, but it is also recognized as a cosmetic agent with anti-age and anti-oxidative properties.

Since 1st December 2023 all the cosmetic products on the market should not contain Theophylline, as ANNEX II of REG 1223 lists the substances prohibited in finished cosmetic products. Manufacturers should check with their suppliers the presence or Theophylline in its raw materials, and they should check the finished cosmetic products do not contain Theophylline.

Neotron performs the analysis of Theophylline by different techniques, according through an internal method.
