Parabens are widely used as preservatives in the last decades. Others preservatives such as 2-phenoxyethanol, which in addition to his good antimicrobial activity, has low allergenic potential as well others properties of interest to the cosmetic industry. In this work was developed a method for determination of methylparaben (MP), propylparaben (PP) and 2-phenoxyethanol (FE) in cosmetic products by HPLC-DAD using QuEChERS as sample preparation. For application in cosmetic samples, the original QuEChERS method was modified and optimized by evaluate of different solvents for extraction and sorbents for clean up step. Increases at recoveries of analytes were obtained employing acetone as solvent and PSA for clean up step, showed recoveries between 83.7% and 88.6% for all analytes. The method was validated according to ANVISA (linear range: 0.1 to 2.5 µg mL-1 for MP and PP, and 1.5 to 6.0 µg mL-1 for FE). Precision was evaluated by repeatability and intermediate precision with coefficients of variation (%) lower than 10% in all concentrations analysed, and accuracy was evaluated, with values ranging from 93.77% to 108.13%. The QuEChERS-HPLC-DAD method was tested in real samples (moisturizing cream and lotion, cleansing gel), where the concentration values were found below the maximum limit established by ANVISA.
