Natural & Organic Cosmetic Product Testing
At Eurolab, we specialize in providing comprehensive testing solutions tailored to natural and organic cosmetic products. Our expertise lies in ensuring that these unique formulations meet stringent global standards while maintaining their integrity and safety for consumers.
The demand for natural and organic cosmetics has grown exponentially over the past few years, driven by increasing consumer awareness of ingredient sourcing and production methods. Eurolab's commitment to this sector is reflected not only in our advanced testing capabilities but also in our deep understanding of regulatory requirements specific to these products.
Our services encompass a wide range of tests designed to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and quality of natural ingredients used in cosmetic formulations. These include assessments for allergens, preservatives, contaminants, and other potentially harmful substances that may be present even in trace amounts. We adhere strictly to international standards such as ISO 21702:2018 and EN 15346.
One of the key challenges in testing natural cosmetics is ensuring that the products perform consistently across different batch variations and environmental conditions. Eurolab addresses this challenge by employing state-of-the-art analytical techniques, including but not limited to high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). These methods allow us to detect even minute deviations from the expected composition.
Our testing protocols also cover stability studies, which are crucial for determining how long a product can maintain its desired properties under specified storage conditions. This includes evaluating factors like pH changes, oxidation rates, and microbiological activity over time. By conducting these tests rigorously, we ensure that our clients have robust data to support their claims about the longevity and efficacy of their products.
In addition to chemical analysis, Eurolab offers sensory evaluations conducted by trained panelists who assess attributes such as color, texture, aroma, taste (where applicable), and overall appearance. This holistic approach ensures that every aspect of a natural cosmetic product receives thorough scrutiny before it reaches the market.
For those developing new formulations or reformulating existing ones, Eurolab provides formulation analysis services aimed at optimizing ingredient ratios while preserving the product's natural attributes. We work closely with our clients to identify potential improvements based on scientific findings and consumer feedback, thereby enhancing both performance and appeal.

Quality and Reliability Assurance
The integrity of natural and organic cosmetic products is paramount. At Eurolab, we implement stringent quality control measures to guarantee the accuracy and reliability of all test results produced within our facilities. Our robust QA procedures encompass multiple stages from sample receipt through final reporting.
Upon receiving samples destined for analysis, they undergo initial screening where essential information such as origin details, batch numbers, storage conditions, etc., are recorded meticulously. This ensures that each piece of data corresponds directly to the physical specimen being examined.
During analytical procedures, our scientists follow standardized protocols laid out by relevant authorities like ISO and EU directives to ensure consistency across all tests performed. Interim checks are conducted periodically during analysis to catch any anomalies early on, preventing erroneous conclusions from being drawn later down the line.
After completing each set of analyses, detailed reports are prepared highlighting key findings along with recommendations based on our interpretation of those results. These documents serve as vital resources for stakeholders involved in product development and commercialization processes alike.
