On today’s program we’re going to talk about the types of tests you need to do on your cosmetic formulas before you start marketing and selling it.
In this episode you’ll find:
- The four types of tests you must run
- Different kinds of microbial tests and what they do
- More information about stability and safety testing
- The reason you need to do performance and claims testing
Today’s Challenge
Choose either one of your own products or a competitor’s product and make a list of all the tests that should have been done prior to launch.
Useful resources: Drugstore.com or Ulta.com
Example: TRESemme Platinum Strength Strengthening Shampoo
Required tests – Stability testing, microbial challenge tests, claims testing
Is there a company/lab you recommend to run these tests? I am launching a new product and what to make sure all the bases are covered.
I would suggest you contact microchemlab.com . They should be able to help.
All I have seen are the list of the course in your sight. I like to see a sample of real paragraph and video clip.
