Since October 2023, the European Union has enforced restrictions on the intentional use of microplastics in products such as cosmetics and self-care items. Using the example of hand sanitizer, this application note demonstrates how to evaluate whether the product contains synthetic polymer microparticles covered by this restriction. Three different hand sanitizers from various countries were analyzed, demonstrating the presence of microplastics measuring from 20 to 100 microns in one of them.
HORIBA provides a full solution for microplastics analysis, including high-performance Raman microscopes, a filtration kit, ParticleFinder™ software for automatic particle analysis, and IDFinder™ software for the automatic identification of multiple spectra.
