Organic Cosmetic Chemical Content Testing
The demand for organic and natural cosmetics has seen a significant rise in recent years. Consumers are increasingly aware of the environmental impact of synthetic chemicals, leading to a growing preference for products that meet strict organic standards. Eurolab’s Organic Cosmetic Chemical Content Testing service ensures compliance with these stringent requirements by providing accurate and reliable analysis.
Our testing covers a range of organic chemical compounds commonly used in cosmetics. These include but are not limited to tocopherols, essential oils, carotenoids, and other natural extracts. The primary goal is to ensure that the cosmetic products meet the criteria set forth by international standards such as ISO, ASTM, and EN.
For this service, we employ cutting-edge techniques that are specifically designed to detect even the smallest traces of organic compounds. The process begins with meticulous sample preparation, followed by instrumental analysis using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). This ensures precision in identifying and quantifying the presence of organic chemicals.
The data obtained is then meticulously analyzed to ensure compliance with relevant regulations. Eurolab’s expertise lies in providing comprehensive reports that not only meet regulatory requirements but also offer valuable insights into the quality and purity of the cosmetic product.
| Tested Compounds | Methodology | International Standards |
|---|---|---|
| Tocopherols (Vitamin E) | GC-MS, HPLC | ISO 21966:2008 |
| Essential Oils | GC-MS, GC-FID | ASTM D5743 |
| Carotenoids | HPLC | EN 12678 |
| Natural Extracts | GC-MS, HPLC | ISO 20395:2014 |
This service is essential for quality managers and compliance officers who need to ensure their products meet international standards. R&D engineers can also benefit from this testing as it provides detailed insights into the composition of natural ingredients used in cosmetics.

Scope and Methodology
The scope of Eurolab’s Organic Cosmetic Chemical Content Testing extends beyond simple identification; it encompasses a comprehensive evaluation that ensures the purity and authenticity of organic ingredients. Our methodology is designed to cover all aspects of cosmetic chemical content analysis, including raw materials, finished products, and intermediate stages.
| Tested Components | Analysis Techniques | Acceptance Criteria |
|---|---|---|
| Tocopherols | GC-MS, HPLC | Vitamin E content must exceed 30 mg/kg for organic certification. |
| Essential Oils | GC-FID, GC-MS | The concentration of essential oils should be at least 5% by weight in the final product. |
| Carotenoids | HPLC | The minimum amount of carotenoids must be 0.1 mg/kg for organic certification. |
| Natural Extracts | GC-MS, HPLC | Natural extracts should contain a minimum of 50% natural ingredients by weight. |
The process involves several key steps:
- Sample Preparation: Ensures the integrity and consistency of each sample for accurate analysis.
- Analytical Techniques: Utilizes advanced chromatography methods to identify and quantify organic compounds.
- Data Analysis: Compares results against international standards to ensure compliance with certification criteria.
- Report Generation: Prepares detailed reports that include all findings, recommendations for improvement if necessary, and compliance status.
By adhering to this rigorous methodology, Eurolab ensures that every test conducted is accurate, reliable, and meets the highest standards of quality.
