Laboratory
What we can test in-house, we keep in-house. What we can't, we don't fake.
Stability and microbiology are run in our own lab so that, when a formula is revised, we get the data the same day. Human-efficacy and safety are always sent to qualified third parties — the credibility of those reports is precisely that they are not issued by us.
Which reports you need depends on where the goods are going.
Tell us your target market and we will send back a list of required tests along with the timeline.
