Deformation of cosmetic products in the laboratory
What is deformation?
First of all, it is necessary to understand what is called deformulation before applying it to the cosmetic sector.
Deformulation or otherwise known as “reverse engineering”, consists in determining the nature and quantities of materials present in a formulation or in your cosmetic product. In short, it is a matter of analyzing and fragmenting its chemical composition.
In a second step, it is necessary to understand your context and the goal to use the deformulation of cosmetic products.
In what context do you need to deform a cosmetic product?
Are you currently developing a new product or are you about to launch your cosmetic product on the market and would like to control its quality? The FILAB laboratory is able to offer its services to meet your objectives. Indeed, the deformation of cosmetic products allows to :
Your objectives
Compare your cosmetic product to the competition
Analyze and determine the composition of an unknown mixture
Analyze and identify a pollution or an impurity
Analysis of heavy metals in cosmetics according to ISO/TR 17276:2014 by ICP
The success of a deformulation of a cosmetic product lies in a good knowledge of the targeted application and the implementation of rigorous analytical methods. Thus, it allows to characterize the chemical composition of organic and mineral fractions.
This approach involves a set of diversified and sometimes very advanced techniques such as:
