Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Testing

In the fast-moving world of cosmetics, new product formulations are being released to accommodate constantly changing consumer needs. These developments, however, come with one major challenge: supporting claims for a product with good testing and being in strict conformance with high regulatory standards. At Chromak Research, we specialize in the total testing of cosmetics and personal care products to assure manufacturers of safety, quality, and conformance.

Cosmetics and personal care products manufacturers should test not only the finished goods but also the individual ingredients. Chromak Research offers advanced cosmetics and personal care products testing to determine chemical, microbiological, and physical properties. Our services include a wide range of tests, such as:

1.  1,4-Dioxane Contaminant Testing

The presence of harmful contaminants in products, particularly 1,4-dioxane, is what matters for a consumer’s and regulatory compliance issues.

2.  BSE Agent and Prohibited Material Detection

Ethical and safe production calls for verification that there is no banned cattle material or BSE agent in cosmetics and personal care products.

3.  Heavy Metals Testing

Chromak Research has accurate testing for arsenic, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, lead, mercury, and nickel levels to guarantee that the product adheres to worldwide safety regulations.

4.  Microbial Testing

From microbial enumeration (USP <61>, <62>) to sterility and endotoxin testing, our microbial tests ensure products adhere to very strict hygiene standards.

5.  Patch Testing

Test the compatibility of products with skin to guarantee that it is safe for sensitive or allergy-prone skin.

6.  Stability and Compatibility Testing

The testing ensures that the product does not lose its efficacy, texture, and appearance over time.

7.  Preservative Efficacy Testing (PET)

Test the efficacy of preservatives in preventing microbial contamination throughout the shelf life of a product.

8.  Water Testing

Test the purity of water used in cosmetic formulations to avoid contamination and ensure quality.

9.  Specialized assays for precise ingredient Testing by HPLC, GC, LCMS & GCMS

Chromak Research offers precise ingredient analysis for cosmetics and personal care products using advanced techniques like HPLC, GC, LCMS, and GCMS, ensuring accuracy and compliance with regulatory standards.

10.  Residual Solvents Testing by GC &KF

We specialize in residual solvent testing for cosmetics and personal care products using advanced GC (Gas Chromatography) and KF (Karl Fischer) methods. These techniques precisely detect and quantify residual solvents and moisture content in formulations, ensuring compliance with safety regulations and product quality standards.

11.  Physical Properties Testing

Verify physical characteristics including viscosity, pH, and appearance to confirm product consistency and quality.

12.  Fatty acid Wet Analysis

We provide accurate fatty acid wet analysis to assess the composition and quality of cosmetic formulations. This analysis ensures precise profiling of fatty acids, aiding in product stability, efficacy, and compliance with industry standards.

Chromak Research provides routine and specialty analyses to support branding and manufacturing goals. Whether it’s active analysis, heavy metal detection, or in-package stability testing, our cosmetics and personal care products testing services provide manufacturers with accurate and timely data.

Our laboratory is totally cGMP/GLP, FDA, and ISO-compliant to ensure every test compliance with regulatory requirements worldwide. From challenge studies to preservative efficacy testing, we offer top-notch, price-sensitive solutions specifically directed toward meeting the demands of the cosmetics and personal care products marketplace.
