  • Retains samples for Cosmetics? 3 years?

    Posted by Landmark on February 3, 2021 at 3:49 pm
    Hello Everyone,
                            I was not able to find the retention time of reserve samples for cosmetics. One year after expiration will be for OTC and pharmaceuticals but what about cosmetics. I will appreciate any help. Thank you! J

    For cosmetics we kept retention samples for 1 year after manufacture.

    Under the ASEAN Cosmetics Guidelines we retain for one year after expiry date. At the same time we run parallel Real Time and Rapid (3 months) Stability Tests.

    Some major companies work on a three year stability testing plan, knowing relevant  consumer use.
