Aftershave Allergen Testing
In today's highly competitive market, ensuring that your aftershave products are free from common allergens is not just a health and safety requirement but also a critical step towards maintaining consumer confidence. At our laboratory, we offer comprehensive testing services to help you identify potential allergens in your aftershave formulations. This service ensures that the final product complies with international standards such as ISO 21021-5 and ASTM D876.
The process begins with a thorough review of the product's formulation to identify potential allergens. Common allergens in aftershaves include parabens, formaldehyde releasers, and synthetic fragrances. Once identified, we conduct targeted testing using high-sensitivity analytical instruments like gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).
Our laboratory adheres strictly to the prescribed test methods outlined in relevant standards. For instance, we use a 5% aqueous solution for testing preservatives like parabens, and we ensure that all tests are conducted under controlled conditions to minimize any variability in results.
The results of our testing are detailed and comprehensive, providing you with a clear understanding of the allergen content in your aftershave. This information is crucial for compliance purposes but also serves as valuable feedback for R&D teams to refine formulations further if necessary.
In addition to identifying potential allergens, we provide recommendations on how to modify the formulation to meet stringent regulatory requirements and customer expectations. Our team of experts can offer insights into alternative ingredients that are safe and effective alternatives to potentially problematic additives.
Our commitment to quality and accuracy is reflected in our strict adherence to international standards and our use of cutting-edge technology. By choosing our laboratory for aftershave allergen testing, you ensure that your products not only meet regulatory requirements but also align with the highest standards of safety and efficacy.
