Abstract

Cosmetic products that contain malic, salicylic, hyaluronic acids and various antioxidants, which are popular worldwide, have made cosmeceuticals a popular cosmetic production sector. Typically, each component of cosmetics, regardless of its activity, may affect the thermal stability of the product. To investigate the thermal stability of regular cosmetics of interest, thermal activity monitor IV was applied to determine the thermokinetic parameters for stability assessment. Arrhenius equations and thermal safety software (for kinetic calculations and numerical simulations) were used. Considering the numerous additives in cosmetic products, individual components of cosmetic material mixed with other components are the primary factors for product deterioration. We examined samples of pure malic acid, pure salicylic acid, and individual acids mixed with copper or iron oxide under isothermal surroundings at 80, 90, 100, 110, and 120 °C. The results of isothermal tests were compared with nonisothermal tests using Arrhenius equations, ASTM E698 method, and Flynn–Wall–Ozawa methods. The value of Ea between malic acid and salicylic acid became lower when mixed with CuO. The findings can be used to identify the optimal parameters for product design and establish a malic and salicylic acid database for developing a proactive loss prevention protocol.
