Quality Cosmetics & Beauty Products Testing Laboratory
Trusted microbiology and chemistry lab testing for quality, safety, and regulatory compliance.
Cosmetic testing encompasses microbiology screening, stability studies, preservative efficacy testing, heavy metal analysis, and claims substantiation to verify that skincare, makeup, and personal care products are safe for consumers and compliant with FDA and EU Regulation 1223/2009.
At Qalitex Laboratories, we offer comprehensive cosmetic and beauty product testing services designed to help skincare, makeup, and beauty brands ensure product safety, regulatory compliance, and performance. We specialize in cosmetic microbiology, stability, compatibility, preservative efficacy, and claims substantiation.
Why Cosmetic Testing Matters
Regulatory compliance ensures your product meets FDA and international regulations. Our testing validates that formulations are free of microbial contaminants and allergens, confirms stability over time, supports marketing claims with lab-backed data, and satisfies retailer requirements for Amazon, Target, Sephora, and other major retailers.
Microbiology Testing for Cosmetics
We perform total aerobic microbial count (TAMC), yeast and mold count, and pathogen detection (E. coli, S. aureus, P. aeruginosa) for cosmetic and personal care formulations. Our challenge testing (PET) verifies the effectiveness of your preservative system per USP <51> and ISO 11930.
Stability & Shelf Life Studies
Real-time and accelerated stability testing evaluates appearance, viscosity, pH, color, fragrance, and active ingredient stability over time. We test all cosmetic formats including creams, serums, oils, gels, and powders under ICH-equivalent conditions.
Heavy Metals & Contaminants
We test cosmetics and personal care products for lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and other regulated heavy metals per FDA guidance and EU Regulation 1223/2009. Essential for brands selling in California (Prop 65) and international markets.
