About the Webinar

Ensuring compliance in product testing can be challenging, especially when navigating the requirements of different regulatory markets. Although the details may vary from one region to another, most testing needs are fundamentally aligned, as the primary goal everywhere is the same: to ensure product safety.

This webinar will focus on the core tests required globally—challenge testing, patch testing, stability testing, as well as microbiological and chemical purity analysis and will also address claim substantiation. Interpreting test results can often be difficult, as outcomes are not always straightforward.

In addition to the regulatory‑mandated tests, new methods are emerging to meet current industry trends, including in vitro evaluations and microbiome-focused studies. Attendees will gain a deep understanding not only of the essential tests applicable to cosmetics, but also of optional tests, key elements to look for in test reports, and best practices for interpreting results.
