Are Your Preservatives Effective?
This method is used to asses the efficacy of a preservative used in cosmetics, personal care products and drug products. The test utilizes a total of 5 challenge microorganisms, three bacteria and two fungi. These microorganisms are inoculated into the tested product and evaluated at specific time points. We utilize both USP 51 and ISO 11930 methodologies. For cosmetics we recommend utilizing the ISO 11930 method as it is specific to only cosmetics.
