Personal Care and Cosmetics Products Actives Analysis

The EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) 1223/2009 strictly control the active ingredients of cosmetics and personal care products (such as preservatives, vitamins, and sunscreens). It is difficult for manufacturers to develop new products and this is a long road full of pitfalls. Before products are commercialized, various tests are usually performed by independent laboratories (or in-house if the facility allows) to learn more about product characteristics. Actives analysis, stability test, toxicology test, safety test, etc. are the basis for products to enter the market. Manufacturers, distributors, and importers of personal care products must ensure that they meet these guidelines.

Our Services

Creative BioMart provides active ingredient analysis services for personal care and cosmetics products to help customers ensure that their products meet quality standards and comply with national regulations. Typical active ingredients in personal care and cosmetics include vitamins, preservatives and sunscreens, etc.

• Vitamins quantification:

Currently, in order to help repair skin and hair damage, more and more vitamins, antioxidants and bioactive ingredients are added to personal care products. We provide multi-vitamin testing, including: vitamin A retinol, vitamin pro A carotene, vitamin B1 thiamine, vitamin B2 riboflavin, vitamin B3 nicotinic acid, vitamin B3 niacinamide, vitamin B5 pantothenic acid, etc.

  Adding preservatives to cosmetics can prevent the product from being contaminated by microorganisms during storage and use and causing harm to human health.
