Stability Testing Services

Real-Time Stability Testing plays a critical role in determining the true shelf life of your cosmetic product.

By monitoring formulations over an extended period under recommended storage conditions, manufacturers gain valuable insight into long-term product performance and stability.

Why is this important?
✔️ Supports shelf-life validation
✔️ Helps maintain product quality
✔️ Assists with regulatory readiness
✔️ Builds consumer confidence

Stability takes time — but it’s essential for safe, reliable products.

Need early insight into how your formulation may perform over time?

Accelerated Stability Testing helps identify potential changes in cosmetic products under controlled conditions such as elevated temperature, humidity and light exposure.

This testing can assist in identifying:
✔️ Colour changes
✔️ Separation or instability
✔️ Texture and viscosity changes
✔️ Packaging interaction concerns

Early testing can help reduce costly reformulation delays and support smoother product launches.

Typical stages include:
• Accelerated testing
• Real-time testing
• Ongoing monitoring at set intervals

Why timelines can’t be changed:
✔️ Chemical and microbiological changes take time
✔️ Shortcuts compromise product safety
✔️ Data integrity is critical

What Is an Emollient (and Why Your Cream Feels the Way It Does)?

Emollients are lipid-based ingredients that soften the skin by filling gaps between corneocytes and reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL).

Common emollients include plant oils, esters, triglycerides, and butters, each contributing different sensory and functional properties. However, emollients also influence oxidative stability, emulsion balance, and long-term texture.

Poorly balanced emollient systems can lead to oil separation, rancidity, or changes in viscosity over time.

👉 Stability testing confirms that emollients deliver both performance and long-term stability.
