Cosmetic and personal care products play a significant role in our daily lives, but behind their allure lies a strict process of testing and compliance. Manufacturers must not only ensure the efficacy and quality of their products to stand out in the competitive cosmetics and personal care market but also guarantee the safety of consumers.

In the EU and the UK, compliance with the established regulations is a requirement, shaping the landscape of cosmetic testing that varies depending on the type of product. This guide serves as a roadmap for understanding cosmetic and personal care testing, highlighting essential procedures and regulatory frameworks.

EU and UK regulations governing cosmetic and personal care products are designed to safeguard consumer health and promote product safety. Compliance with these regulations is mandatory for cosmetic manufacturers and formulators. Key regulatory bodies such as the European Commission and the UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) oversee the implementation of these regulations, ensuring that products meet stringent safety criteria before entering the market.

Essential testing procedures include microbiological tests on cosmetic and personal care products by a UKAS accredited laboratory capable of performing these tests. The cosmetic testing procedures have been validated by the laboratory to ensure they are effective and fit for purpose.

The cosmetic testing process is pivotal and plays an important part in both the product formulation and releasing stock product to the market. UKAS accreditation, recognised by the British Government, provides independent assurance of technical competence and test results you can trust.

Southern Microbiological Services has decades of expertise in UKAS accredited microbiological food, feed, and water testing. In 2024, SMS expanded their scope of microbiological testing services to include cosmetic and personal care testing, enabling cosmetic manufacturers to benefit from the quality service we offer.

At our UK cosmetic testing laboratory, we understand the critical importance of microbiological testing for cosmetics. That's why we offer a range of key UKAS-accredited cosmetic tests essential for ensuring the safety and quality of cosmetic and personal care products:

To complement these essential microbiological tests, our experienced team at SMS also offers bespoke cosmetic services tailored to the specific needs of manufacturers. Whether it's assisting with formulation development, conducting compatibility studies, or providing regulatory guidance, we are committed to helping our clients navigate the complex landscape of cosmetic testing.

In addition, our network of Tentamus laboratories allows us to expand testing opportunities for your cosmetic products, starting with stability testing for the shelf-life and ending with GMP chemistry and microbiology testing services such as sterility testing or preservative efficacy testing (PET) should your product require it.
