for Cosmetics & Skincare

The ability of microorganisms to grow and reproduce in cosmetic and skincare products is an issue of both quality and safety. In the past, suppliers have utilized preservatives and other ingredients to combat the growth and survival of these microorganisms in their products. However, the rise of all-natural cosmetics and skincare reintroduces these microbial risks. For the safety of their consumers, major retailers such as Amazon, Whole Foods, and more are now requiring suppliers to submit a Certificate of Analysis (COA) on all cosmetic and skincare products sold through their stores.

Testing Requirements

for Cosmetics & Skincare

Although there are no legal requirements by the FDA for testing Cosmetic and Skincare Products, most major retailers now require a COA for cosmetic and skincare products that will be sold through their stores. Although each retailer will have its own set of requirements for the COA, AEMTEK’s FDA recommended cosmetic and skincare testing panel will meet the requirements of most major retailers.
