Active Ingredient testing
Testing for many active ingredients by HPLC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS.
Impurity Testing
- Pesticides
- Heavy metals
- Residual solvents
- Unknown impurities
Shelf-life studies
Shelf-life studies for cosmetic products can be performed over any timeframe desired from months to years and over a range of temperatures from refrigerated to room temperature and under accelerated conditions. Tests include:
- Color, odor, appearance
- pH
- Phase separation
- Microbial growth
- Active ingredient concentration and degradation
Skin permeation testing
We can determine the rate of permeation of active ingredients using human abdominoplasty surgical discards or artificial membranes, which correlate well with human skin for many compounds.
Microbial testing
- Total yeast and mold
- Total aerobic counts
- Staphylococcus aureus
- Candida albicans
- Psuedomonas aeruginosa
- E coli
- Salmonella
- Others
