Restricted Ingredients Testing for Cosmetics
Overview
The control of banned or restricted substances in cosmetics is a key concern for manufacturers, distributors, and importers of personal care and beauty products. The need to meet current regional regulations relevant to your product launch requires accurate and sensitive analytical determination of banned or restricted substances. Our cosmetic testing experts provide cost-effective testing procedures in accordance with official methods to meet your specific product development needs.
Specific Services We Offer
- Quantification of free formaldehyde
We use high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods and post-column derivatization to provide accurate and reliable formaldehyde analysis to ensure the safety of your innovative beauty products.
- Heavy Metal Determination
We provide rapid and accurate testing using Inductively Coupled Plasma - Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) or Inductively Coupled Plasma - Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) to meet your heavy metals analysis requirements.
- Fragrance Allergens
The labeling of fragrance allergens in cosmetics is a legal requirement, specifically 0.001% for leave-on products and 0.01% for rinse-off products. Our team has developed a 57-allergen screening method using advanced gas chromatography for sensitive and specific allergen identification and quantification.
- Phthalates in Raw Materials
Phthalates Trace detection analysis by our analytical team screens for the presence of phthalates and can also determine the levels of a range of phthalates in your cosmetics or raw materials.
- Quantification of 1,4-Dioxane
Despite the ban on 1,4-dioxane, 1,4-dioxane is still produced in the manufacture of ethoxylated surfactants such as sodium lauryl ether sulfate or sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES), which are commonly used in shampoos, deodorants, toothpaste, and bath products. To help you meet regulatory compliance requirements, our experts offer headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) of raw materials and formulated products.
Environmental and Sustainability Considerations
Protecting the environment and promoting sustainability are fundamental concerns of the cosmetics industry. Restricted ingredient testing is concerned not only with consumer safety but also with the environmental impact of ingredients. Certain ingredients, such as microplastics or persistent organic pollutants (POPs), are restricted or heavily regulated due to their potential long-term environmental impact. Through thorough testing, cosmetic manufacturers can ensure that their products do not contain these substances and contribute to environmental sustainability.
