Case Study

Measuring Silicone Concentration in Lip Balm

A pharmaceutical company was formulating a new lip balm with silicone as an active ingredient and needed an assay developed to determine silicone content. The method also needed to be validated using Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) protocol for FDA approval. Dow Corning Analytical Solutions were able to develop and validate a gas chromatography functionality method to quantify silicone in their complex sample matrix. This test method was later transferred to our customer's testing laboratory.
