TO THE
COSMETIC

COSMETICS TESTING AND ANALYSIS LABORATORY

AITEX, has more than 35 years experience in applied chemistry, and is equipped with advanced infrastructures, laboratory equipment and experimental research plants for the analysis and testing of cosmetic products.

We offer a complete service to the cosmetics industry in all of the main areas of activity: laboratories for the characterisation, quality control and certification of products according to international norms and standards; applied research projects, innovation and product development with added value; in vivo and in vitro testing, international legislative support, technical, legislative and scientific advice and specialised technical training.

At AITEX we have experience, know-how and a massive R&D potential that enables us to rapidly and seamlessly implement tailor-made solutions and services for the cosmetics industry.

ANALYSIS AND TESTING OF COSMETICS

MICROBIOLOGICAL TESTING IN COSMETICS

Detection of mesophilic aerobes
Detection of Fungi
Detection of Staphylococcus aureus
Detection of Escherichia coli
Detection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Detection of Candida albicans
Detection of Burkholderia cepacea 

 

Challenge test (Effectiveness of the preservative) (ISO 11930:2019)

The “challenge test” or preservative efficacy test,  aims to determine the preservative efficacy of a formula to prevent contamination by microorganisms during normal and predictable use.

PHYSICO-CHEMICAL TESTING IN COSMETICS

Detection of water activity
Flushable products
Detection of Heavy Metals
Detection of ODP
Detection of Substances
Detection of Stabilities and package-product compatibility
Detection of pH, viscosity, density, etc.
Capillary strength. Number or heading, tensile strength, elongation, fracture and toughness.
