Chemical Testing for cosmetics involves analyzing product samples using validated scientific methods to verify safety, purity, potency, and regulatory compliance. Accredited labs like Qalitex use instrumentation such as HPLC, ICP-MS, and microbiology assays to generate Certificates of Analysis (COA) required by FDA, Amazon, and retail partners.
Qalitex Raises Alarm on Undisclosed Allergens in Contract-Manufactured Products
Chemical analysis at Qalitex identified undeclared allergens (gluten, soy, dairy) in multiple contract-manufactured supplement products — a finding that would have triggered FDA action if released to market.
Cosmetics brands require specialized testing to ensure product safety, regulatory compliance, and consumer trust. Qalitex Laboratories provides chemical testing specifically designed for the cosmetics industry. Qalitex Laboratories offers a full suite of chemical testing and analysis services for dietary supplement, food, and cosmetic brands. Our ISO 17025 accredited laboratory uses state-of-the-art instrumentation including HPLC, ICP-MS, GC-MS, LC-MS/MS, FTIR, and UV-Vis spectroscopy to deliver accurate, validated results. Our testing protocols are calibrated to the unique requirements of cosmetics products, from raw material verification to finished goods release testing.
Chemical Testing Tailored for Cosmetics
The cosmetics industry has specific testing requirements driven by FDA regulations, marketplace compliance (Amazon, retail), and consumer safety expectations. Qalitex designs testing panels specifically for cosmetics products, ensuring you meet all applicable standards while optimizing your testing budget. Our scientists understand the unique matrices and formulation challenges of cosmetics products.
Our Chemical Testing Capabilities
We cover the full range of chemical analysis needs: identity and authentication, potency and quantification, impurity profiling, contaminant screening (heavy metals, pesticides, solvents), and physical-chemical properties (pH, viscosity, moisture, water activity).
Method Development & Validation
For novel ingredients or products without pharmacopeial monographs, we develop and validate custom test methods per ICH Q2(R1). This includes selectivity, linearity, range, accuracy, precision, and robustness studies, producing a validated method suitable for regulatory submission.
