Personal Care Product Heavy Metal Testing
In today’s competitive market, ensuring product safety and compliance with regulations is paramount. Heavy metal testing in personal care products plays a critical role in safeguarding consumer health. This service involves the analysis of heavy metals such as lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), and arsenic (As) to ensure they fall within acceptable limits set by regulatory bodies like the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and international standards such as ISO.
The heavy metals present in personal care products, albeit at trace levels, can pose serious health risks if ingested or absorbed through the skin. This service is essential for brands aiming to maintain a positive reputation and comply with stringent regulations.

These methods ensure high precision, reliability, and reproducibility. The testing process involves meticulous sample preparation, digestion of solid matrices, and rigorous quality control measures.
The service covers a wide range of personal care products including lotions, shampoos, conditioners, makeup, and skincare items. Compliance with standards such as the ASTM F904, which specifies limits for metal content in cosmetic products, is a key aspect of this service.
