Ramón Martínez, Project Manager of Laboratorio MicroBios, explains in this article the current situation, tools and trends in the cosmetics industry in terms of safety and use of preservatives in their products.
The frequent changes in the regulations regarding the use of preservatives in the light of the conclusions obtained in new toxicological studies provoke a constant debate between the safety of their products, new ingredients, formulation, controls, manufacturing processes and market trends.
The cosmetics industry has numerous tools at its disposal to guarantee the efficacy and safety of its products. Risk Analysis defines the scope of the studies/controls applicable to each product: the design of the efficacy study or "Challenge test", the analytical control guideline and stability studies.
The development of new materials and dosage technologies, organic or natural cosmetics, the use of "para-preservatives" or sterile products.
The application of these tools and the constant innovation in the appearance of new ingredients and packaging, process improvement and analytical control, invites us to remain attentive and take advantage of the generation of opportunities and synergies to continue on the path of continuous improvement.
