Intertek has announced the launch of an advanced analytical testing service to determine allergens in cosmetics which is optimised for greater specificity, efficiency, and accuracy.
In Europe, Regulation (EC) N°1223/2009, enforces the obligation to inform consumers of the presence of 24 chemically-defined fragrance substances identified as potential allergens in cosmetic products.
Following the publication of the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety’s document (SCCS/1459/11), it was proposed by industry stakeholders to extend that to 57 fragrance substances. Accurate determination of the levels of these allergens in cosmetics is essential to allow suitable labelling for consumers, however, this testing is highly challenging for these complex sample types.
