Analysis of materials in contact with hygiene products
Materials in contact with hygiene products and cosmetics are, like foodstuffs, in direct and regular contact with people, thereby necessitating strict control of which substances that can migrate. Many products are also fatty and are kept in packaged form for extended time, further tightening the requirements on the material.
Purpose
We offer analyses on material in contact with hygiene products and cosmetics, which can be expected to have similar, but not more strict, regulations as food contact materials (FCM). Under current legislation for cosmetic products (EC 1223/2009), there are no explicit procedures to determine the migration of forbidden or restricted substances from the packaging material, and the recommendation is to do analyses based on the guidelines for FCM (e.g. EU 10/2011).
Method
An analysis package is constructed based on the material composition and intended use, in accordance with recommendations for FCM deemed the most applicable. Our available analyses include, among others, overall migration, specific migration and subsequent analysis with GC-MS or LC-MS/MS, and metal analysis using ICP-MS.
Delivery
The results are compiled into an analytical report.
