Cosmetic Regulation and Preservative Efficacy Testing
• Testing not performed on all products
• No specified test
• Plenty to choose from – ISO 11930, USP 51, E.P 5.1.3.
• Creating the argument

Risk Assessing • BS EN ISO 29621:2017
• Definition of a low risk product
• Low risk characteristics
• BACKED BY LITERATURE!

In use testing • Doesn’t simulate real life, it is real life.
• Not enough control over parameters
• Suitable for products that have low risk characteristics
• Good for additional data

Dealing with failure Common mistakes -
Some products require extra care to ensure homogenous.
• Powders – tendency to clump with wet inoculum
• Wipes – pooling of organisms
• Oils – pooling of organisms
• Contaminated at point of manufacture

Dealing with failure • Product Design
• Preservative choice
1. Compatibility
2. Activity requirements during manufacture (temperature/pH)
3. Final specification
