Laboratory for the analysis of foreign bodies in cosmetic products.
You wish to analyze a foreign body present in your cosmetic product?
Throughout the manufacturing process, there are many sources of contamination that can lead to the appearance of a foreign body in cosmetic products. Foreign bodies can be of several types, organic, mineral or metallic.
In addition to deteriorating the performance of your product, a foreign body can also be harmful to the consumer. Thus, the identification of this foreign body and the readjustment of the production process is an essential step.
