Eurofins | CRL, Inc.’s Post

Last month, the FDA sent out their weekly Enforcement Report and highlighted 24 personal care products that were recalled and have now been classified as Class II risks due to benzene contamination. Product types included dry hair conditioners and shampoos, mists, and spray deodorants, but benzene contamination is a serious risk for many skincare, cosmetics, sunscreen, and other personal care products. Benzene is a known human carcinogen that can cause leukemia and other blood disorders and contamination is regulated in the US and many international markets. Products with thickening agents, isobutane, and other hydrocarbon ingredients tend to be the most at risk for contamination and recalls. At Eurofins CRL, we know that the best solution to avoid a costly product recall and risk to consumer health is prevention through testing. With multiple domestic personal care testing labs and a global network of testing services, Eurofins CRL is ready to help you meet regulatory standards, protect your customers' health, prove your products benefits claims, and navigate obtaining additional certifications for increased consumer trust. Reach out to us today to learn more about how our services can protect your brand and most importantly, your customers. https://lnkd.in/gGXGmtKq #CosmeticsSafety #PersonalCareProductSafety #CosmeticsTesting #BenzeneTesting

The vital role of a clean environment in Cannabinoid Testing! Did you know what's behind precise cannabinoid testing?  Clean Environments and Hygiene! Preparing samples for our HPLC equipment is an art, and cleanliness is the key ingredient. Just like a chef meticulously preps ingredients, our lab team ensures a pristine environment to maintain the integrity of each sample. Why Cleanliness Matters? Eliminating Contaminants:  A clean workspace minimizes the risk of external substances interfering with our results. Pure samples mean accurate cannabinoid percentages! Consistency:  Hygiene protocols ensure that every sample is treated with the same care, creating reliable and reproducible data for consistent quality. How to assure a clean environment and trustworthy results?    Before the team starts their magic with the HPLC,  there's a thorough cleaning routine. From gloves to equipment, every detail is attended to, reinforcing our commitment to excellence is as potent as the cannabinoids we test. #labexcellence #cannabinoidtesting #qualitycontrol #cannprisma #cannabisindustry #empoweringcannabis #medicalcannabis #cannabispassion #cannabislab #eugmplab

The 2022 passage of the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act (MoCRA) modernizes FDA oversight of cosmetics and personal care products, and creates a comprehensive and uniform national framework for regulating these products.  This landmark legislation gives the FDA significant new authorities and regulatory tools that promote product safety and preserve innovation for the science-driven beauty and personal care industry and reinforces consumer confidence in products they trust and enjoy every day.    We urge Congress to act quickly to provide the FDA with the resources it needs to fulfill MoCRA’s promise. Now is the time to make this promise a reality. https://lnkd.in/g7zbsUav #beautyindustry #cosmetics #FDA
