Testing ensures that the cosmetics meant for application on skin, lips, nails, and hair are safe and comply with the regulatory standards set by the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940.

For example, during testing of lip sticks, our analytical testing team carries out dermatological testing and other parameters of testing to ensure the lip stick is safe for use and contains no harmful substances. Lipsticks are usually made of waxy substance, oil, and pigments that impart colour. The waxy substance can be derived from animal source such as beeswax or a plant extract.

With the growing expectations of consumers, nowadays manufacturers also produce long-lasting lipsticks and transfer-proof or transfer-resistant lipsticks.

The various tests for lipstick include:

• Microbiological testing to detect presence of harmful microbes
• Softening point test
• Rancidity or peroxide number test to help manufacturers know the rancidity of raw materials like vegetable oils, natural dyes, and others
• Breaking load test to determine how much pressure a lipstick can withstand before breaking
• Particle size test
• Test for arsenic and heavy metals
