Everything for laboratories in the cosmetics industry
10 de November de 2023Laboratories in the cosmetics industry are engaged in the research, development, manufacture and quality control of cosmetic products. These laboratories play a key role in supplying consumers with safe, effective skincare, haircare and personal hygiene products.
The three main goals of the cosmetics industry are hygiene, safety and efficacy.
The cosmetics industry seeks to attain high hygiene levels through intensive monitoring of processes, facilities and personnel.
Manufacturers must also ensure that cosmetic products are free from pathogens and comply with microbiological safety levels. This is especially important to protect children, the elderly and immunologically depressed populations.
For the third objective, cosmetic products must be effective throughout their useful life.
Scharlab offers a wide range of solutions for laboratories that work in the cosmetics industry.
