What is formaldehyde?

Formaldehyde is a chemical compound that can be used as a preservative or may be present as an impurity in cosmetic raw materials. Although the use of formaldehyde in cosmetics is strictly limited or prohibited under regulations such as 1223/2009/EC, verifying its absence or ensuring compliance with legal limits is crucial for product integrity.

Why is formaldehyde detection important?

Although direct claims of “formaldehyde-free” for cosmetic products are not permitted in the EU Because the substance is banned or strictly regulated (meaning no company should use it), our service is vital for purity verification and quality control. It helps you:

• Ensure regulatory compliance: Confirm that your products meet strict global regulations regarding residual or trace amounts of formaldehyde.
• Monitor the quality of raw materials: Screen incoming raw materials to prevent unintended contamination.
• Support internal quality control: Maintain the highest standards for product safety and purity.
