Oil and Fats Analysis

As oils and fats are a key ingredient in cosmetics, it is vital that producers of cosmetics have an in-depth understanding of their long-term safety and stability. An SGS oils and fat analysis conducts tests to inform the early stages of product development or to maintain quality throughout production and beyond.
