How it Works

Step 1: Consultation

we must connect the following points to the main product category, target market, and applicable standards: ISO 22716 and BIS IS 4707.

Step 2: Sample Submission

If the secondary packaging allows the products to be verified, technical documents and materials of the products identified before using them in the laboratory to perform the sample analysis might be required.

Step 3: Testing

Testing periods include immediate, short-term, and long-term types. The significant tests we run at this time may cause us to accumulate comparative and supplementary information about the products and their safety level.

Step 4: Report

Issuing a comprehensive result and compliance declaration in addition to the individual account is done.

microbiological testing
Microbiological Testing
Cosmetic products must be free from harmful microorganisms to ensure consumer safety. Microbiological testing checks for bacterial and fungal contamination that could cause skin infections or product spoilage. Tests such as Total Plate Count (TPC), yeast and mold detection, and pathogen identification for E. coli, Salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are conducted. This ensures the product remains hygienic and safe throughout its shelf life.

Physicochemical Testing
Physicochemical testing focuses on the physical and chemical properties of cosmetics to maintain product consistency and quality. Parameters such as pH value, viscosity, density, color, odor, and overall appearance are measured. These tests confirm whether the product formulation is stable, skin-friendly, and aligned with customer expectations. For example, the pH of skincare products must be compatible with natural skin levels to avoid irritation.

stability & shelf-life testing
Stability & Shelf-life Testing
Cosmetic stability testing evaluates how products perform under various environmental conditions. Accelerated stability tests simulate long-term storage by exposing products to high temperature, humidity, and light. Freeze-thaw testing checks if the formula remains effective when exposed to extreme temperature changes. Real-time stability testing ensures the product maintains its safety, efficacy, and appearance throughout its intended shelf life.

chemical testing
Chemical & Contaminant Testing
Cosmetic products must be free from toxic chemicals and impurities. Chemical testing includes the detection of heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, mercury, and cadmium, which can cause serious health issues. Preservative testing ensures parabens, formaldehyde, and other additives are within permissible limits. Allergen testing identifies fragrance compounds that may trigger skin sensitivities. VOC testing is carried out for sprays and aerosols to ensure they meet safety regulations.

Packaging Compatibility Testing
Cosmetics must remain stable and uncontaminated throughout their shelf life, which makes packaging compatibility testing crucial. These tests examine whether packaging materials react with the product, causing changes in color, odor, or stability. They also assess leakage, corrosion, and the potential migration of harmful chemicals from packaging into the formulation. This ensures that both the product and packaging remain safe and effective for consumers.

efficacy / performance testing
Efficacy / Performance Testing
Efficacy testing validates the claims made by cosmetic brands. For sunscreens, SPF and UV protection levels are measured. Moisturization tests using instruments like a Corneometer assess hydration and transepidermal water loss (TEWL). Anti-aging or anti-wrinkle products are tested using imaging techniques to measure visible improvements. Hair care products undergo strength, shine, and smoothness testing to prove their effectiveness. This ensures product promises are scientifically backed.
