Cosmetics
companies! Can you say with confidence that a product your customer
buys in bulk today will have the same excellent qualities they expect
from your brand when they open it in six months’ time?
If not, you need to start stability testing, pronto.
Stability
testing is simply the assessment of the lasting power of a cosmetic,
during which samples of it are put under different environmental
conditions for a set time period, and its properties analysed. These
conditions vary in light, temperature, pressure and humidity levels and
are designed to imitate what the product may be subjected to during its
lifetime.
