# Laboratory for the analysis of residual solvents in cosmetic products

## You want to carry out residual solvent analysis in your cosmetic products

First of all, a solvent is a liquid substance that has the property of dissolving, diluting or extracting other substances without chemically modifying them and without itself changing.

These solvents can be used in the synthesis of the chemical substances necessary for the formulation of cosmetic products, but their presence can be undesirable in the finished cosmetic product, as some solvents may have properties that are harmful to humans.

In order to have a good knowledge of the contamination status of your cosmetic products by residual solvents, the support of a laboratory competent in the analysis of residual solvents in cosmetic products is necessary.

Indeed, the [analysis of cosmetic products](https://filab.fr/en/sectors-of-activity/laboratory-analysis-cosmetics/study-expertise-non-conformity-cosmetic-products.md) is one of FILAB’s major specialities, whether for regulatory purposes (such as REACH) or for product development purposes.

## FILAB offers you its know-how for the analysis of residual solvents in cosmetic products

In order to support cosmetics manufacturers in the development and quality control of their products, by following the regulatory evolutions, the FILAB laboratory provides a state-of-the-art analytical facility of 5200m², allowing the analysis of residual solvents in cosmetic products.
