Why Testing & Certification Matter for Cosmetics
The cosmetics industry is governed by strict regulations to protect consumers from harmful ingredients, contamination, and misleading claims.

At Worldwide Quality Control, our rigorous testing and certification services help you meet these standards, providing peace of mind that your products are safe, compliant, and ready for market.
Our Cosmetics Product Testing Services
We offer a full suite of testing services to evaluate the safety, quality, and efficacy of cosmetic products, ensuring compliance with both national and international standards:
- Microbiological Testing: We test cosmetic products for microbial contamination, including bacteria, yeast, and mold, to ensure they are safe for consumer use and comply with global microbiological safety standards.
- Stability & Shelf-Life Testing: We evaluate the stability and shelf life of cosmetic products under different environmental conditions to ensure they maintain their quality and efficacy throughout their intended lifespan.
- Chemical & Toxicology Testing: We assess cosmetic products for harmful chemicals and ensure that all ingredients are safe for use. This includes testing for banned substances, allergens, and toxins, ensuring compliance with regulations like the EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 and the US FDA regulations.
- Preservative Efficacy Testing (Challenge Testing): We test the effectiveness of preservatives used in cosmetic products to ensure they prevent microbial growth and maintain product safety over time.
- Heavy Metal Testing: We test for trace amounts of heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, mercury, and cadmium, which can be harmful to human health and are restricted by global cosmetics regulations.
- Allergen Testing: Our allergen testing services help identify potential allergens in cosmetic formulations, ensuring accurate labeling and protecting consumers from allergic reactions.
- Claim Substantiation Testing: We provide testing to verify claims such as “dermatologically tested,” “hypoallergenic,” “non-comedogenic,” and other product performance claims to ensure compliance with advertising and labeling regulations.
- Patch Testing & Sensitivity Testing: We conduct dermatological patch tests and sensitivity testing to assess whether cosmetic products cause irritation or allergic reactions when applied to the skin.
- pH and Viscosity Testing: We evaluate the pH and viscosity of cosmetic products to ensure they are compatible with the skin and provide the intended texture and application experience.
