Cosmetic Product Testing and Certification for Claims
Question
I need to get my cosmetic product tested and certified to support claims such as "hypoallergenic" and "tested on 100 users" with accompanying data and graphs for commercial distribution (e.g., department stores, convenience stores). Where can I find research teams or companies that provide these testing services?
Answer
Based on your inquiry about obtaining certifications and testing for your cosmetic products for claims like "hypoallergenic" and "tested on 100 users" with accompanying data, and your need to find research teams or companies for this purpose:
It is common practice to seek external testing services for such claims to ensure credibility, especially when planning to distribute products through channels like department stores and convenience stores.
According to the information provided, universities are often considered a highly credible option for cosmetic product testing. Specifically, contacting the Faculty of Pharmacy at universities is recommended. Professors within these faculties are often engaged in research related to the efficacy and safety of cosmetic ingredients and formulations and may be equipped to conduct the types of tests you require, such as user trials and hypoallergenic testing.
While I can confirm that universities are a viable option for this kind of research, I am unable to provide you with specific contact information for universities or private companies that offer these services, nor can I give you details regarding the costs involved. This information is not available through my current tools.
Therefore, I recommend directly contacting the Faculty of Pharmacy at various universities to inquire about their research services, capabilities, and pricing for the specific testing and certification needs of your cosmetic products.
