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.
