NSF International Introduces Cosmetic Product Quality and Safety Verification Service

NSF International has launched the first cosmetic verification service that is said to provide consumers assurances of the quality, safety and compliance of cosmetic products.


Both cosmetic manufacturers and retailers can obtain NSF International’s cosmetic product verification, which includes regulatory, toxicological and contaminant review testing along with label claim verification and compliance to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs), as well as periodic facility audits.


By selecting cosmetic products that have been evaluated against the rigorous criteria of NSF International’s cosmetic product verification, consumers can be confident that products bearing the NSF mark have been tested to meet the quality and safety consumers expect, according to the organization.


“NSF International’s cosmetic product verification service provides manufacturers, brand owners and retailers with a way to demonstrate to consumers that their cosmetic products have been evaluated for safety, tested for harmful contaminants and potential adulterants, and had the label ingredient claims confirmed,” said Casey Coy, manager of cosmetics and personal care Services, NSF International.”
