MilliporeSigma’s wide range of products can characterize anti-pollution cosmetics; from standards for active ingredients, e.g., antioxidants and phytochemicals, to challengers such as organic pollutants. Robust Chromolith HPLC columns allow for less sample preparation, while TLC products and applications require almost no sample cleanup.
