Personal Care & Cosmetics

NEOGEN’s solutions for the personal care and cosmetics industries are reliable and data-driven.

To guarantee high quality of personal care and cosmetic products, the science of the processes used must demonstrate the utmost in precision and efficiency.

The personal care, cosmetic and household item markets have various regulations around contaminants and allowable levels of microorganisms in various products. NEOGEN® provides platforms for microbial limits testing and sanitation verification that can help verify that products meet regulations as well as improve throughput. NEOGEN’s BioLumix® system helps companies meet USP testing criteria, specifically USP <51>, <61>, and <62>. The BioLumix system performs preservative efficacy testing, rapid yeast and mold testing, objectionable organisms testing as well as challenge testing for cosmetics. Using NEOGEN’s BioLumix system, much of the materials and labor are reduced when it comes to USP <51>. The automated system helps track microbial log reductions over the course of the 28-day-test by reducing labor by nearly 60%.
