In the last decade, the personal care and cosmetics industry has grown significantly, evolving from a market predominantly catering to women to one that also includes men and children. As this market expands, many products are subject to strict regulations due to health and performance concerns. These beauty and personal care items must comply with regulatory standards regarding their composition, safety, and intended use to ensure consumer well-being and product effectiveness.

Cosmetic Safety Compliance
The growing demand for cosmetic products has prompted manufacturers to ensure that their offerings consistently meet the rigorous standards set by cosmetic testing laboratories and regulatory bodies, safeguarding customer trust.
All cosmetic products produced in India must comply with the Drugs and Cosmetics Act of 1940 and the associated Rules of 1945. Given the critical importance of safety and performance, manufacturers need to focus on driving innovation while minimizing risks related to microbial contamination, the use of restricted or prohibited substances, and overall product safety. This is essential to build consumer loyalty and trust in new formulations.
We assist manufacturers in verifying the compliance of their cosmetic and personal care products with relevant regulations and industry standards, including GMP, aerosol standards, hazardous substances management, and more. Our labs provide support throughout the process from raw ingredient testing to the final product and packaging ensuring that all products meet legal and safety requirements.
