A Brief Analysis of One Source of Acrylamide in Children's Wash Products
Acrylamide,a common cosmetic risk substance,has neurological toxicity and potential carcinogenicity,posing risks to children's health and development.At present,research on acrylamide residues in cosmetics mainly focuses on polyacrylamide raw materials.This paper analyzes acrylamide residues in 29 batches of commercially children's wash products and 10 batches of cocamidopropyl betaine(CAB)from different suppliers.The results shows that the detection rate of acrylamide in the 29 batches of products was 62%,with residue levels ranging from 0.010~0.151 mg/kg.In products without polyacrylamide,52%contains acrylamide,all of which include CAB.Besides,the detection rate of acrylamide in 10 batches of CAB raw material is 100%,with residue levels ranging from 0.016~1.082 mg/kg,varying significantly between different batches and manufactures.Acrylamide has not been controlled as a risk impurity component in CAB.Given the multiple sources of acrylamide,this article tentatively proposes an additional source of acrylamide in cosmetics and explores its causes,safety risk assessment,and domestic and foreign regulatory situations,in order to provide references for quality control and raw material supervision in children's cosmetics.
