Cosmetic Testing

Our Cosmetic and Personal Care Product Testing Capabilities:

• Cosmetic Microbial Testing
  Detects bacteria, fungi, and mold in cosmetics to avoid infections and health risks, including total viable count, yeast/mold count, and pathogen testing.
• Cosmetic Preservative Efficacy Challenge Testing
  Evaluates the effectiveness of preservatives in inhibiting microbial growth, with the Preservative Efficacy Test (PET) as the standard method.
• Heavy Metal Testing in Cosmetics
  Identifies toxic heavy metals using AAS, ICP-MS, and XRF to ensure compliance with safety limits.
• Elemental Analysis of Cosmetics
  Identifies and quantifies elements via XRF, ICP-AES, ICP-MS, and AAS for quality and safety control.
• Cosmetic Stability Testing
  Assesses physical and chemical stability under various conditions to confirm shelf-life performance and product consistency.
• Testing of Prohibited and Restricted Ingredients
  Ensures regulatory compliance using GC, HPLC, and MS to screen for banned or restricted substances.
• Formaldehyde Testing in Cosmetics
  Measures formaldehyde and formaldehyde-releasing preservatives (FRPs) using GC and HPLC to reduce carcinogenic and irritant risks.
• Cosmetic Allergen Screening
  Identifies potential skin allergens and irritants to minimize adverse reactions.
• Safety of Nanomaterials in Cosmetics
  Assesses nanomaterial safety for potential toxicity, inflammation, and accumulation, supporting regulatory compliance.
• SPF Testing for Cosmetics
  Determines sun protection factor (SPF) to verify UVB-induced sunburn protection and meet global regulatory standards.
• UVA / UVB In-Vitro Testing for Cosmetics
  Quantifies UVA/UVB protection in vitro to validate broad-spectrum sunscreen performance and ensure labeling accuracy.
• In-Vitro Toxicology Testing for Cosmetics
  Uses 3D skin models, cell cultures, and computational methods to evaluate safety without animal testing, supporting ethical and regulatory requirements.
