Cosmetics & Personal Care
We test cosmetics and personal care products for safety, efficacy and regulatory compliance. Our chemical, microbiological and dermatological testing covers fragrance allergens, SPF, stability, heavy metals, phthalates and routine quality checks to protect consumers and support market access.
IFRA Fragrance Allergen Screening
IFRA-aligned allergen screening for fragrances and scented products to detect priority fragrance allergens and ensure formulations meet labelling and safety guidelines. Results support compliant ingredient lists and reduce risk to sensitive consumers and retailers.
SPF & Sun Protection Testing
SPF testing for sunscreens and sun lotions to verify sun protection factors and UVA/UVB performance. Reports support label claims, product development and regulatory submission for topical sun-care products.
Dermatological Skin-Sensitivity Testing
Dermatological screening to assess irritation and sensitisation risk for topical cosmetics using validated in-vitro and in-lab approaches. Helps you identify potentially sensitising ingredients and supports safer product formulation and labelling.
Product Stability & Shelf Life Testing
Stability testing monitors physical, chemical and microbiological changes under controlled conditions to determine product shelf life, packaging compatibility and performance across storage and distribution scenarios.
Microbiological Testing (including Candida albicans)
Microbial testing of cosmetics and personal care products for total viable counts, yeast & mould (including Candida albicans) and targeted pathogen screens to ensure preservative efficacy and product safety.
Heavy Metals & Trace Element Screening
ICP-based testing for heavy metals (lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury and others) in cosmetic matrices to verify product safety, regulatory compliance and supplier control for raw materials and finished goods.
Phthalates & Plasticiser Analysis
Targeted screening and quantification of phthalates and plasticisers in formulations and packaging to ensure restricted substances are below regulatory limits and support safe product claims.
Physico-Chemical Quality Panel (Ash, Moisture, pH, etc.)
Routine chemical checks – ash, moisture, pH, viscosity and related parameters – to confirm formulation consistency, batch quality and performance characteristics that influence product stability and consumer experience.
