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.
