Sampling in the Cosmetics Industry
LABPLAS offers sampling products needed by players in the cosmetics industry. Whether the sampling is done to analyze the machinery used or to ensure that the finished samples comply with the organoleptic, physico-chemical and microbiological specifications, LABPLAS offers several sampling solutions to ensure the sterility of the samples taken throughout the production line of a cosmetic product.
Facility cleanliness
Several governments prohibit the sale of cosmetics that are manufactured, prepared, preserved, packaged or stored for sale under unsanitary conditions. Failure to meet these safety and quality requirements could result in adverse health effects to the consumer. In addition to facility cleanliness, machinery and equipment used in cosmetics must undergo rigorous sampling tests to ensure safety.
Water quality control
Water for cosmetic use meets high quality requirements, whether it is used as a product component or during production, and the bacterial load must be regularly monitored. Chemical-physical and microbiological quality controls are therefore essential for production in accordance with current standards.
Sampling and testing of finished products
Once the cosmetic product has passed all stages of the production line, testing is required, for example, in order to evaluate the strength and efficacy of preservatives. These tests require the use of sterile tools to prevent sample contamination that could skew the results.
Applications
Reliable and safe sampling tools are essential in order to carry out the various tests and analyses required within this industry.
-
Analysis of the microbiological quality of products
The sampling of cosmetic products is essential and requires sterile tools to determine the microbial load and the absence of certain pathogens Contamination limits may be particularly restrictive for certain types of products, such as eye creams.
-
Evaluation of antimicrobial protection
Tests and analyses are required to demonstrate the efficacy of antimicrobial protection of a cosmetic formulation (i.e., challenge tests). Sterile tools are required for these microbiological tests.
-
Testing of active ingredients
Cosmetic products must be subject to comprehensive reviews of their active ingredient content for regulatory and health purposes. The products at the end of the production line must be analyzed in order to validate the dosage of active ingredients. This dosage is subject to strict rules regarding minimum and maximum composition.
The LABPLAS advantage
Doing business with LABPLAS ensures you quality products and a service adapted to your needs.
Guaranteed sterility
LABPLAS products are sterile, either by the very process of extrusion or by irradiation. The sterility of the manufactured bags is checked periodically by periodically sampling and analyzing the different production lines.
State-of-the-art equipment
Our specialized equipment and technologies, as well as our assembly room in a controlled environment, allow us great flexibility to meet the specific needs of all our customers, which is at the top of our priorities!
Traceability of our products
You will always have access to all information about your LABPLAS products (traceability number for each batch of product, production date, sterility guarantee, etc.) thanks to the sterility certificate included with each order.
