Laboratory offerResearch scope
The challenge test determines the effectiveness of the preservative system used as a result of controlled contamination of the cosmetic product with standard microbial strains (bacteria and fungi).
Research is performed:
In this study, we may consider environmental strains delivered by the client or derived from natural skin microflora.
We carry out microbiological analysis of raw materials and cosmetic products in accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of Health (Journal of Laws of 2003, No. 9, item 107) and COLIPA recommendations.
The tests are performed in accordance with ISO standards:
Detailed identification of non-specific microorganisms may be carried out using a biochemical assay, mass spectrometry or PCR.
Physicochemical studies are performed to confirm the physicochemical properties of the products and their durability.
Performed research include, among other:
Research on cosmetics and household chemistry is conducted in terms of the effectiveness and efficiency of the product declared by the customer on the packaging and consist in evaluating the user’s feedback when using the product. The research is designed to assure the consumer that he product used is safe and does not cause side effects.
Tests are conducted on a probation group at home for a specified period of time. Confirmation ofproduct performance is based on the declared properties of the tested product. We also conduct research in controlled conditions, for example in a cosmetic or hairdressing salon.
Research is conducted to compare the utility of two or more products by a probation group. Evaluation of product properties takes place during self-application of the samples. The research determines the similarities or differences between the tested products.
Carrying out the Cosmetic Product Safety Report is a mandatory legal requirement of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 November 2009 concerning cosmetic products. Safety assessments are developed on the basis of the conformity of the product composition with the law, the toxicological evaluation of the components, exposure assessment and exposure risk, and evaluation of the results of the final product test.
We carry out environmental monitoring in the field of:
Dermatological examinations of cosmetics and household chemicals are carried out in order to check the allergenic and irritating properties of the product.
The test is performed on a suitable probation group under the supervision of a specialist. Probates are selected in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration and COLIPA guidelines.
Performed:
We invite you to take part in open training courses organized by our company in Wroclaw and closed training courses on client’s request at his company. The subject of the training can be modified and set individually depending on the needs and requirements of the client.
1. Microbiology for beginners.
2. Basic techniques in microbiological analysis of cosmetics.
3. Sampling of cosmetics, samples from production and marketing surfaces, air and water
samples for microbiological testing.
4. Cosmetics – from an idea to store shelf.
5. Legal status of microbiological examination of cosmetics in Poland.
6. Microbiology of packaging.
7. Microorganisms in cosmetics. Why are we looking for pathogens in cosmetic samples?
8. ‘Borderline products’ – proper product classification and placing on the market.
9. Management of standard strains in a microbiological laboratory for cosmetic testing.
10. Methods of checking the effectiveness of cosmetic maintenance.
11. Detection of presence and determination of the number of microorganisms according to
current ISO standards.
12. Validation of microbiological methods according to ISO standards for cosmetics.
13. Non-specific microorganisms in the production of cosmetics – from raw material to finished
product.
14. Insulation and identification of specific ad non-specific microorganisms in cosmetic products.
At the beginning of November this year, the long-awaited ‘Atlas of cosmetics microbiology’ will be published on the market. It is addressed to quality control staff, including microbiological laboratories, who work in cosmetic research as well as manufacturing technicians and R&D departments, but also scientific research laboratories, cosmetologists, dermatologists, university students, and all interested parties in testing microbiological purity of cosmetics.
