Abstract A reversed - phase high performance liquid chromatography method for simultaneous determination
of resorcinol and salicylic acid in cosmetics was established. The sample was analyzed on a Kromasil C column
250 mm × 4. 6 mm i. d. 5 μm with a detection UV wavelength of 275 nm. Gradient elution was carried out
with mobile phase composed of methanol buffered with 0. 01 mol / L ammonium dihydro - phosphate at a flow
rate of 1. 0 mL / min. Results showed that as the concentration of resorcinol and salicylic acid are in the same
range of 0. 5 ~ 150 μg / mL the relationship between concentration and the corresponding peak area shows good
linearity r = 0. 999 7 and 0. 999 8 respectively . The regression equations can be expressed as A = 12 420 ρ -
6 301 and A = 15 500 ρ - 8 810 respectively and the recoveries of resorcinol and salicylic acid achieve
95. 9% ~ 103. 5% . The RSD of the method is 0. 61% ~ 0. 88% .
