We at Chromak Research understand the increasing need for ethical and safe production among beauty products. Among the most pressing challenges of the quality of today is 1,4-dioxane, a recognized human carcinogen that may be found as an unintentional process-related contaminant in personal care and cosmetics. With our state-of-the-art 1,4-Dioxane contaminant testing, we assist brands to guarantee their products comply with stringent regulatory requirements while consumers’ confidence is maintained.
Why Is 1,4-Dioxane Tested For
1,4-Dioxane is not added to cosmetics but is a byproduct of certain ethoxylated products like sodium laureth sulfate, polysorbates, and PEG compounds. Small quantities of 1,4-dioxane become problematic according to health regulations and consumer protection initiatives.
Regulatory authorities worldwide monitor this contaminant closely. In the United States, the FDA recommends reducing 1,4-dioxane by maintaining good manufacturing controls, while state regulations like California Proposition 65 require consumer labeling for consumer products containing some amount above specific thresholds. Other countries outside of the United States have their own strict thresholds, so regulatory compliance testing is a requirement before distributing globally.
Aside from complying with regulations, consumers are also better informed of dangerous impurities in cosmetics and want to see brands that uphold transparency and rigorous quality control. Investing in solid 1,4-Dioxane contaminant testing ensures the safety of your customers and your company reputation.
