Stability and shelf life of cosmetic products

When developing, manufacturing, and selling 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 BBD (Best Before Date) can I apply?
• are there legal requirements, for example from the EC Regulation 1223/2009, that need to be fulfilled?
• what data does my safety assessor need?
• how can I analytically prove stability?
• which parameters and at what temperatures need to be tested?
• does ISO/TR 18811 provide guidance?

The BAV Institute, with its expertise in the field of cosmetic stability tests, is happy to assist you with all the above questions. Contact us, we look forward to hearing from you!
