Skincare products
Anti-aging, exfoliating, moisturising or tanning, whatever your performance claim, our expert compliance, formulation and safety testing services can help you back it up. We’ll provide both you and your customers the reassurance your product delivers what it promises.
Getting your skincare products consumer ready
We have years of experience providing certification and safety testing services for skincare products of all types. We’ve worked with body moisturisers, body oils, body treatments, fake and gradual tan products, foot and hand cream and lotions and products for children, as well as many other formulations besides. Using our innovative and accredited testing services, we won’t only help you to certify your claims and understand the regulatory requirements. We’ll also provide guidance and advice to help improve your product, enhance efficacy and ensure complete safety and manufacturing readiness. As an independent laboratory, you can think of us as your one stop service provider, taking your new product from the spark of an idea to a space on the shelf.
