    Hi , Just wondering if anyone knows where I can send some products for testing,to find out what ingredients are present, and if the ingredients that they claim on product are actually what they claim.

    This is urgent and very important, as we are the sole distributor of these products, and we have some concerns about the ingredientspossibly not being accurate, and need to test products for confirmation.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Find an analytical chemical testing lab in your local area.  They should be able to help you with that.  Send them the LOI and samples of the products.  They can test the samples against standards of the ingredients on the LOI and tell you if those chemical compounds are in the sample.

    Is your concern that some of the listed ingredients are not in the product at all … meaning the LOI lists ingredients that are not actually in the product.  
    Or, is your concern that compounds other than what is listed on the LOI are in the product? These two scenarios will help the lab in the analysis.
    This might be an expensive undertaking.  Have you requested that the supplier of the product supply to you a certificate of analysis?  That might be your best first pass at figuring this out without you having to pay for the analysis.
