Quality

One rule applies for the production of cosmetics: the best possible quality ensures optimal effectiveness and long shelf life of the care product.To maintain consistently high-quality products, we perform quality controls continuously and get our processes certified by external authorities.

There is nothing more important to us than maintaining hygiene standards and continuous high-quality products. On top of our regular quality controls, we document all our manufacturing processes, test every batch in our in-house laboratory, and keep test samples from every batch. All the ingredients and test outcomes are stored in the Product Information File.

"For me, quality controls are so versatile, because modern measurement technology meets my own perception of senses."

Quality control

We develop all our cosmetics in accordance with the EU Cosmetics Directive. We draw on the latest data and information about ingredients and test these in the laboratory. We can provide support for the launch of your new product such as helping you with registration on the Cosmetic Products Notification Portal (CPNP). We work with external experts who carry out a safety assessment of the ingredients in accordance with the regulation or, on request, create the product information file (PIF).

Efficacy testing

  1. Safety assesment

As soon as the formula has been developed and commissioned, we will arrange an external safety assesment. You will receive a safety report which is the main feature of the Product Information File. The requirements are laid down in the EU Cosmetics Directive.

  1. Microbiological quality

Skincare products should be as sterile as possible. For this reason, the Cosmetics Directive stipulates microbiological testing. In external laboratories, we test our final products for microorganisms, yeast and moulds. Only when quality and sterility have been confirmed in accordance with the guidelines, the product is delivered.

  1. Challenge
    test

In these tests, we investigate how well the preservatives in the personal care product prevent possible microbial growth.

  1. Stability tests

All our samples are subjected to stability testing to examine their shelf life. This involves withstanding various temperatures and storage situations, and regular monitoring. We also keep samples of the final product ready for sale so that we can carry out subsequent tests at any time if necessary.

  1. Efficacy testing

Do you want to make certain claims about your product? Maybe it has moisture balancing properties or it visibly reduces deep wrinkles? To bolster your marketing claims, we have a network of institutes that can perform application tests. We are happy to support you in this respect and carry out the desired efficacy tests on your behalf.

For personal care products to maintain their high quality, it is essential that there are no gaps in the documentation for all ingredients, manufacturing processes and test outcomes. We store any relevant data for a minimum of ten years. Drawing on our vast experience, we can support and advise you on all the necessary processes, allowing you to enter the market with ease.

ISO 9001 certification

Quality is not only a top priority for our products, but also all of our company’s processes. That has led us to establish a quality management system and we regularly get certified to standard ISO 9001 by external auditors. Our management systems allow us to review our instruments, production sites, processes, documents, and IT systems. We work systematically to enhance our processes so that we can fulfil your orders efficiently and in the same high quality every time.

Assured sustainability certification

As a family-run business, sustainability is part of our tradition. We see value creation as a sustainable process involving ecological, social and innovative aspects. We produce skincare to maintain healthy skin and we believe it is only natural that our business also operates sustainably. We are also in receipt of regular certification by the German Institute for Sustainability and Economics. All our processes, from manufacture and working conditions to recycling internally are audited and analysed.
