Extractable and Leachable testing on cosmetic packaging
Are you looking to conduct Extractable and Leachable testing on your cosmetic products?
A study of extractables allows industrialists to assess the risk of substances migrating from a container (packaging) into its contents (cosmetic products).
The study of extractables in cosmetic products looks for different kinds of materials and compounds : polymer additives, plasticizers, stabilizers, dyes, metal catalysts and other chemicals presenting a contamination risk for cosmetic products.
All these elements susceptible of coming into contact with cosmetics, from the production process to the packing process, need to be analyzed and monitored to ensure that no foreign compound finds its way into a cosmetic product.
To solve these problems, you are looking to cooperate with a reliable analytical laboratory offering high added technical value.
