U.S. Cosmetic Safety Assessments
Cosmetic companies are responsible for ensuring that their products are safe under labeled or customary conditions of use and for maintaining records supporting adequate safety substantiation. While FDA does not require a specific testing protocol for cosmetic products, companies should have appropriate scientific evidence to support the safety of their formulations and ingredients.
SGS Nutrasource provides U.S. Cosmetic Safety Assessments to help companies evaluate the available safety information for their products and determine whether the existing evidence is sufficient to support the intended use. Our scientific and regulatory experts assess relevant toxicological, ingredient, formulation, and product information and provide practical guidance on addressing potential safety data gaps.
