Decorative Cosmetics in the RAPEX Rapid Alert System

Cosmetic products must be safe and stable, especially with regard to microbiological quality. Unfortunately, this is not always the case.

Various cosmetic products are repeatedly reported in the EU Rapid Alert System (RAPEX). Currently, an eye shadow product is classified as dangerous due to a high microbiological load and is being withdrawn from the market. A health risk to the consumer cannot be ruled out.

Make your products safe and test according to the requirements of the EU Cosmetic Regulation 1223/2009. In addition to the microbiological quality control of raw materials and cosmetic finished products and testing in accordance with the requirements of ISO 17516, testing for adequate preservation through the preservative challenge test (KBT) according to DIN EN ISO 11930 is of enormous importance.

The BAV Institute performs all these tests quickly and reliably for you. You can view your results around the clock in our online sample portal.
