Analysis of heavy metals in cosmetics

As manufacturers of cosmetic products you have the responsibility to guarantee the safety and quality of your products for consumers. Heavy metal testing is essential in this process.

Consumer protection and preservation of your reputation:

The presence of heavy metals in cosmetic products can have serious consequences on the health of users, such as skin irritations, allergies, and even long-term toxic effects. By performing heavy metal testing, you can quickly detect and eliminate potentially harmful contaminants upstream, ensuring consumer safety while preserving your brand reputation.

By investing in these analytics, you demonstrate your commitment to the safety and satisfaction of your customers, while building trust in your products.

Meet regulatory obligations:

In addition, compliance with current regulations is essential, and heavy metal testing ensures that cosmetic products meet these standards and pose no risk to public health.

European regulations on heavy metals in cosmetics are mainly governed by the European Union Cosmetic Products Regulation. which sets strict limits for heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium and arsenic. Manufacturers are required to conduct appropriate safety assessments and testing to ensure their products meet these regulatory limits.

Thus, the labeling of cosmetic products must include all relevant information on ingredients, including the presence of heavy metals beyond permitted thresholds.

European authorities regularly monitor the cosmetics market to ensure compliance and take enforcement action where necessary, ensuring the safety of European consumers.
