Essential oils are highly appreciated by the cosmetics industry because they have antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, among others. Since essential oils are natural products, their inclusion in cosmetic formulations is a common practice. Currently, low-quality and/or adulterated essential oils can be found on the market; therefore, analytical methods for control are required. Raman spectroscopy is a versatile technique that can be used for quality control tasks; the portability of modern devices expand the analytical possibilities also to in situ measurements. Fifteen essential oils of interest for the cosmetics industry were measured using a handheld Raman spectrometer, and the assignment of the main bands observed in their average spectra was proposed. In most cases, it is possible to distinguish the essential oils by a simple visual inspection of their characteristic Raman bands. However, for essential oils extracted from closely-related vegetable species and containing the same main component in a very high proportion, the visual inspection of the spectra may be not enough, and the application of chemometric methods is suggested. Characteristic Raman bands for each essential oil can be used to both identify the essential oils and detect adulterations. OPEN ACCESSCosmetics 2015, 2 163

Essential oils are highly appreciated substances used as row materials in the food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industry. Due to its biological activity and properties, the oil extracted from clove (Eugenia caryophyllus) has gained economic importance, and this is the main reason why adulterated clove essential oils have appeared in the market. The detection of adulteration is a fundamental task to ensure the quality of industrial products and, therefore, to protect the consumers from potential harmful products. In order to test the suitability of Raman spectroscopy to detect adulteration in essential oils, nineteen samples of commercial clove essential oil were measured with a handheld device and their Raman spectra analyzed. The Raman spectrum of a sample of authentic clove essential oil is dominated by bands of its main component eugenol. Principal component analysis (PCA) and independent component analysis (ICA) were applied in order to identify the adulterated samples and to assess the quality of the authentic samples. It was found that two samples were adulterated by the addition of benzyl alcohol and a third one by the addition of a vegetable oil. The adulteration by addition of benzyl alcohol is easy to detect by a quick inspection of the Raman spectrum, since this compound shows an intense band at 1003 cm‐1. However, the detection of adulteration by the addition of other substances (e.g., vegetable oils) requires the application of multivariable analysis, i.e., PCA or ICA. The results show that Raman spectroscopy is an appropriate technique for quality control of clove essential oil.
