What is the compatibility test? How long does it take?
When testing a cosmetic or personal care product for shelf-life and stability, packaging is a major factor that should be taken into consideration. While the product itself may have a relatively stable shelf-life when tested in glass or another temporary package, the same stability may not be observed in the product’s final packaging. It is important to run stability testing in the packaging intended for marketing due to interactions that may occur between the package, the product, and the environment. Glass, being the least reactive material, does not react with cosmetic products in any way. Therefore, package compatibility testing in both the product’s final packaging and in glass to determine if the cause of product spoilage is due to the formula itself, or if the package is having advers affects on the formula. This is a 3-month and 6-month process. All test are paid by a customer.
