Shelf life and stability of cosmetic products

In the development, manufacturing, and sale of cosmetic products, the following questions almost always arise:

• how long is my product shelf-stable or safe to use?
• what PAO (Period After Opening) or BBE (Best Before End date) should I apply?
• are there legal requirements, e.g., from the Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, that need to be met?
• what data does my safety assessor need?
• how can I analytically prove the stability?
• which parameters and at what temperatures should be tested?
• does the ISO/TR 18811 provide assistance?

The BAV Institute, with its expertise in stability testing of cosmetics, will gladly assist you with all the questions mentioned above. Contact us, we look forward to your message!
