Laboratory Test Request

Topical Skincare Cosmetics Testing

Project Description

MULTIPLE TESTING & SAMPLES

A cosmetic skincare company is looking to get pricing info for a few different types of lab testing services from US labs:

  1. Sterility Testing - We have a cosmetic serum product that we manufacture intended to be sterile that would need to be tested for sterility (ex: Total Plate Count and Yeast/Mold)
  2.  Salicylic Acid Concentration Testing - We have a 2% Salicylic Acid Gel product that we would want tested for concentration (ex: HPLC:HPLC Salicylic Acid Assay).
  3. SPF Determination / Testing - We are working on a new sunscreen product that would need to undergo SPF testing.
  4. Preservative Testing - We are working on possibly changing out our preservatives, so if you offer any preservative testing services, we would be interested to find out costs involved with a project like that.
  5. Product Stability - We might want to try to get a deeper analysis and testing done on our products and their shelf life over time and if you offer any services related to this, please let us know more about it.


If you could provide info on costs per sample tested, overall order minimums / MOQs, turnaround times, and what sample sizes are required for each of these types of tests, that would be great!

We currently have a testing company we work with that requires a $500 minimum testing order with 7-day turnaround, but were curious to know of alternative vendors and how their pricing / MOQs / turnaround times might differ.
