Flash Point Testing for Cosmetics

Flash point refers to the lowest temperature at which the volatilized vapor of flammable liquid mixes with air to form a certain concentration of flammable mixture, which could ignite if exposed to an ignition source, such as flames, sparks or heat. The flash point is not only an important indicator of whether a liquid substance is flammable, but also a safety indicator for the storage, transportation and use of flammable liquids. The fundamental reason for measuring flash point is to take specific and correct precautions when manufacturing, storing, transporting or using those products. The flash point test results should be listed in the product's safety data sheet/material safety data sheet (SDS/MSDS).

Flash point testing has become a recognized practice for evaluating and classifying different materials, and is currently widely used in various industries such as petrochemicals and cosmetics. Performing flash point testing on cosmetics can help ensure product safety and compliance, especially perfumes, essential oils, nail polishes and other scented cosmetics that belong to the category of cosmetics that should strictly control their flash points.

Our Services

Reliable and accurate flash point measurement requires standardization of test conditions, because there are a large number of parameters that affect the flash point of the sample, this includes the temperature and position of the igniter, as well as the test time, heating rate, atmospheric pressure, etc. The advanced technology platform established by Creative BioMart provides various analysis services in the cosmetics industry, including flash point measurement using different methods and international standards. In addition, we also provide extensive testing, inspection, safety assessment and regulatory consulting services for cosmetic manufacturers around the world.

European flash point regulations differentiate products in the following ways:

• Extremely flammable: flash point below 0°C, boiling point below 35°C
• Highly flammable: flash point below 21℃, boiling point above 35℃
• Flammable: flash point between 21°C and 55°C

The flash point test results of cosmetics will be affected by various parameters, so manufacturers need to cooperate with high-quality and trustworthy laboratories to ensure the accuracy and efficiency of the analysis results. Creative BioMart is a professional and advanced cosmetic analysis company, aiming to provide high-precision, high-reproducibility, and time-saving testing services for global cosmetic manufacturers.
