Cosmetic Sample Testing

 

Introduction

Under the influence of western culture, physical appearance has become the utmost concern for every person. Personal care is an indispensible part of our routine where cosmetic products play a large role. Be it for basic hygiene, to aesthetic enhancement or cosmeceuticals, there are cosmetics to cater to every healthcare need available today. To meet the diverse requirements of the Indian population, many cosmetic products are imported in to India. The indigenously manufactured as well as imported products undergo a stringent quality assurance and quality control check before they reach the consumer. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare in India ensures the safety and efficacy of all these products as well as analyzes if the product complies with the set quality standards. Moreover, it is compulsory to get the sample tested before filing for cosmetic product’s registration certificate. Such a testing requires tedious practical as well as documentary work.
