Formaldehyde Testing Service in Cosmetics
Overview
Formaldehyde (or formalin) is used as a preservative in cosmetics. Today, formaldehyde is considered a potentially hazardous substance (Class A according to DIMDI) and is subject to many restrictions and bans in cosmetics under current cosmetic regulations. Although formaldehyde is prohibited, preservatives called "formaldehyde releasers" in Annex V can still be used in cosmetics as long as the concentration of formaldehyde in the finished product does not exceed 0.05%. Accurate and robust analytical testing is required to ensure the safety of your innovative beauty products to determine formaldehyde in skin care products or cosmetics.
