Technical Article - Determination of the Efficacy of Preservatives in W/O Formulations (KBT Tests)
In the current issue of the journal Cosmetics & Toiletries, an article by Yudith Manrique‐Otero, Joelle Nussbaum (BAV Institute), and Ulrich Eigener discusses the efficacy of preservatives in W/O formulations.
The article discusses the following topics, among others:
- Suitability of microbiological tests for W/O products
- Limitations and error rates of PETs
- Further steps for comprehensive safety assessment
Conducting microbiological examinations in W/O formulations is always a challenge. The experts at the BAV Institute provide advice on test execution, methodological questions, comparison of different methods, etc.
We conduct PETs according to ISO 11930, as well as Ph.Eur. and USP, quickly and reliably.
Contact us, we look forward to your message.
