Stability Testing

Your products are vulnerable during storage and transportation. Climate variation can result in damage and alteration, which could affect product compliance and consumer loyalty.

Are your cosmetic and personal care products stable?

Our global network of state-of-the-art laboratories offers stability testing on a wide range of products using real-time and/or accelerated ageing methodologies.

We evaluate your product’s stability against:

• Exposure to elevated environmental conditions for pre-defined periods of time
• Environmental cycling (freeze-thaw stability testing)
• Extreme or rapid temperature changes
• Photostability testing (real time and controlled conditions)
• Lighting impact on color, odor and overall appearance – products whose packaging allows the product to be exposed to light should undergo photostability testing: UV light resistance test
• Period-after-opening (PAO) determination – cosmetics with less than 30 months stability should undergo PAO determination
