Microbiological & Laboratory Testing
Our ISO 17025 accredited UK microbiological and laboratory facility leads the way. It is fully equipped to assist with a host of testing from BP/EP preservative efficacy testing, through biocidal testing and hygiene controls, and much more. Our state of the art laboratory undertakes a variety of analytical testing including heavy metals by ICP-MS, cannabinoids by HPLC, alcohol assay testing by FTIR and terpenes, residual solvents and 1,4-dioxane testing by GC-MS.
Global Compliance & Registration
We maintain an extensive knowledge of international regulations regarding cosmetics and related products, which is constantly monitored and updated by qualified assessors. Regulatory news is closely monitored to anticipate changes, allowing us to provide you with detailed advice and recommendations regarding compliance in the ever-moving global market.
If you are looking to have a presence in the UK or EU we offer product notification to the SCPN (UK) and the CPNP (EU), as well as a Responsible Person service via our offices in England and the Republic of Ireland. We can also notify products to Health Canada and to the US Voluntary Cosmetic Registration Program (VCRP).
User Trials & Claims
If you’re developing a cosmetic product you’ll be familiar with the idea of product testing and clinical trials. In fact, any claims you make about the effectiveness of your product will need to be substantiated in order to meet local regulations such as Commission Regulation (EU) No 655/2013 in the EU.
At our UK DermaCentre we use state of the art technology to measure a range of parameters. From patch testing, validation of claims such as “dermatologically approved”, through to skin moisture and TEWL assessments, erythemal index and melanin testing, SPF, elasticity and sebum assessments, we have a host of options to answer your product research and validate your claims. What’s more, we’re investing heavily in our testing capacity to keep it up to date and growing to meet the needs of future consumers.
