Quality Control tests used in the pharmaceutical industry can be applicable also for cosmetic formulations. However, claim substantiation testing is unique to cosmetic products. To enable time- and cost-effective quality control testing, assessment methodologies constantly keep evolving. This Special Issue includes manuscripts that explore all stages of Quality Control testing for cosmetic products, i.e., (1) physicochemical stability testing; (2) microbial stability testing; (3) efficacy testing including objective/subjective claim substantiation testing and the evaluation of sensorial properties; (4) toxicological/safety testing with emphasis on current and evolving methodologies that replace animal testing.ChemistrybicsscPhysical chemistrybicsscResearch & information: generalbicsscaccelerated ageingactive compoundsassaybotanicalscollagen type Icolorantscosmeceuticscosmetic product safetycosmeticscreamscritical wavelengthdermal absorptiondirect to consumerendocrine disruptorsfunctional cosmeticsgenotoxicityHPLC-UVlabellingminimally disruptive formulasn/anon-animal-testing methodologiesnon-melanoma skin cancerspermanent makeupphotoagingpigmentsPMUrefractive indexretail modelretinoidssafetysensory testingshelf lifeskin hydrationskin irritationskin sensitizationsolar elastosissolar radiationstability protocolstability testingtattoostocopheroltoxicologyTTCturbidityubiquinoneβ caroteneChemistryPhysical chemistryResearch & information: generalDodou Kalliopiedt1313407Dodou KalliopiothBOOK9910585937803321Current and Evolving Practices in the Quality Control of Cosmetics3031394UNINA
