Skincare Testing
Hi, I am am the owner of skincare company currently bringing a moisturizer to market. I had Preservative Challenge and HRIPT testing done for the product. I want to eventually begin to bring my other products to market. I have heard those tests may not be needed necessary for them given they aren’t made with water, but I want to do my due diligence for my customers. If not these tests what is needed?
The future products are as follows:
Syndet cleansing bar
Oil based cleanser with added glycerine
A scrub formulated w/o oil or water
Lip balm
Oil based salve
Appreciate the insight!

Perhaps not necessary but if you don’t run them you’ll need some proof that your products are safe. How will you prove it?

So are you saying that the USP<51>, USP <61> &<62>, HRIPT can all be applied to the solid and non water based products that I listed above? That was my question. If not those test what tests should I be looking at?

You may not need to run USP<51> PET testing on those anhydrous products, but HRIPT safety testing will be needed, especially in light of the newest MoCRA statute and 100% needed if you are exporting to UK, EU, China, etc. Even without state-inspired requirements, remember it is the litigators you need to look out for more than the regulators.

Thank you! That is what I was thinking, just wanted a few more opinions.

Hi there! As someone who is also interested in skincare, it’s great to hear about your company and the steps you’re taking to ensure the safety of your products for customers. While I’m not an expert in product testing, I think it’s always better to err on the side of caution and do the necessary testing, even if it may not be required by law.
