Elemental Analysis - Barium (Ba)

Barium sulfate is a metal compound that functions as an opacifying agent in cosmetic products and is used in concentrations of up to 37 percent, both in skin and hair cleansing products that are washed and rinsed with water, and in products intended to remain in long-term contact with the hair and skin. In this regard, barium sulfate is considered safe and presents no significant toxicity concerns.

Barium sulfate is an inorganic salt that occurs in nature. As a cosmetic ingredient, the synthetic form is used to avoid skin-irritating sulfuric acid impurities. It works to opaque products such as creams and lotions, but is commonly used in non-aqueous makeup products such as lipstick, blush, and mascara as it helps prolong the life of cosmetic pigments.

Barium sulfate plays a role in the healing of the skin barrier by preventing water loss from the uppermost layers of the skin.

In general, inductively coupled plasma (ICP) method is used in barium analysis in accordance with international standards. In this method, it is determined whether there is barium in the sample tested and how many ppm it is, if any. Meanwhile, barium metal analyzes are made according to special demand.

Our organization, equipped with extensive technological equipment and a trained and experienced staff, applies the most modern methods in its testing and analysis processes, adhering to both national and international standards, as well as current legal regulations . Among the numerous tests conducted within this scope, barium (Ba) testing services are provided as part of elemental analysis.
