On verification in cosmetics

Assessments on content declarations, adulteration and batch identity.

Content verification

Closing the gap between the content declaration and the product

The gap between what a label declares and what a product contains is in most cases not deliberate. Making the gap measurable is the first condition for closing it.

Adulteration

Why adulteration in cosmetics cannot be identified by eye

A substitution that preserves colour, scent and texture is not noticed by the person using the product.

Batch verification

Compliance is not a file assembled on the day of inspection but a record that accumulates continuously.

As the cost of a check falls, the frequency of checks rises. This is where the return is generated.

Contract production

Incoming inspection for brands producing externally

Delegating production is not delegating responsibility. The point of acceptance is the principal point of assurance.
