These tests are typically conducted by certified laboratories using validated testing methods and equipment. The results of these tests are used to ensure that personal care products are safe for use and meet regulatory requirements. By identifying and quantifying the levels of various chemicals and microorganisms, manufacturers can adjust their formulations and manufacturing processes to improve product quality and consistency. There are a number of chemicals that are commonly tested in personal care products to ensure their safety and compliance with regulations. Some of the most commonly tested chemicals include:
Preservatives: These are added to cosmetic products to prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi. Common preservatives include parabens, formaldehyde releasers, and quaternary ammonium compounds.
Heavy metals: These include lead, mercury, and arsenic, which can be harmful if they are present in high levels in cosmetic products.
UV filters: These are added to protect the skin from the harmful effects of UV radiation. Common UV filters include octinoxate, avobenzone, titanium dioxide (TiO2), etc.
Formaldehyde: This is a preservative that can cause allergies and other adverse reactions in some people.
