    Dear all,
    A preservative for cosmetic product can be revalidated and extended its expiry date
    A reverification of its parameters as well as a challenge test of the finished product are sufficient to revalidate a preservative 
    Best regards

    Not aware the term ‘revalidation” in this context.  ALL cosmetics should be marketed with challenge testing data justifying their microbiological safety through consumer use - tho’ consumer can use stuff forever and do not respect ex dates - most major companies see three years in this regard and use “rapid ageing” of product to project preservative stability and efficacy.
