Cosmetic Stability & Package Compatibility Testing Services from Eurofins | CRL

Eurofins | CRL now has the capabilities to conduct both Standard and Accelerated cosmetic stability and package compatibility testing. Accelerated cosmetic stability testing allows a cosmetic formulator to observe long-term effects without delaying production timelines, as elevated temperatures increase the rates of reaction. One year at room temperature can be simulated by 10 weeks at 45°C or 12 weeks at 40°C, according to the company.

Within Accelerated cosmetic stability testing there are options to conduct either a High-Humidity test or a Cycling test. High-Humidity test conditions increase stress on packaging, demonstrating whether the container provides sufficient protection from the product storage environment. Cycling tests involve moving the product through fluctuations in temperature and humidity at regular intervals, which can determine how a product will hold up to uncontrolled conditions during distribution and storage.
