Beauty & Personal Care
Whether you are a global manufacturer, an international brand, a retailer or an importer selling beauty and personal care products, product safety and quality are vital.
The beauty and personal care industry is driven by a constantly evolving regulatory landscape and the development of new technologies. Innovation is crucial to the successful development of new cosmetics products. However, with new ingredients and materials, the industry is continually challenged to develop safe, effective, and compliant products that meet the requirements of both legislation and consumers.
Partnering with Intertek helps brands and producers speed up their international growth, optimize the quality and safety of their supply chain and reduce total costs. We have more than 30 years of knowledge and experience in providing safe and cost-effective services across all aspects of the beauty and personal care industry. Our services range from research and development and clinical development support to new product and notification, manufacturing, and ongoing support.
For R&D Services:
We provide analytical support for formulators, quality control, and substrate/product interaction from our analytical laboratories. We also offer human trials for safety and efficacy, claim substantiation from our clinical study center in Paris, France, and toxicological assessment from our network of toxicologists in the UK, France and North America. We can also support the due diligence of materials used in primary packaging.
For Production Site
We provide quality control testing and comprehensive GMP services to production sites to be ready to implement the Cosmetic GMP and the EU Cosmetic Regulation. This includes gap analysis, training, consultancy, eLearning tools and self-evaluation. In addition, our scientific support services help with contamination investigations and product scale-up questions and challenges.
For the Supply Chain:
Our global network of GMP auditors can perform third-party audits of the raw material and packaging suppliers with local experts. Materials are inspected and tested on the spot before shipment to reduce risks and unnecessary costs.
