Cosmetics & Toiletries (COSMETICS)
Cosmetics have been in use for thousands of years, and the potential for harm to the wearer has been present ever since the use of toxic chemicals such as lead sulfide (galena) as an eye make-up by the ancient Egyptians. Manufacturers must ensure that potentially harmful products are not placed on the market. Products must undergo chemical, microbiological, and physical testing to ensure safety, quality, and legislative requirements are met.
AXIO Proficiency Testing understands the challenges within this industry, it is why we have designed our Cosmetics and Toiletries Scheme ( (COSMETICS). COSMETICS is intended for chemists and microbiologists performing product and ingredient testing in the beauty and personal care product industries. By participating in this scheme, you can have confidence that your results are meaningful and accurate.
