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.Research & information: generalbicsscChemistrybicsscPhysical chemistrybicsscsafetycosmeticsbotanicalstoxicologyTTCsolar elastosiscollagen type Isolar radiationnon-melanoma skin cancersphotoagingtattoospermanent makeupPMUcolorantspigmentscosmetic product safetynon-animal-testing methodologiesdermal absorptionskin irritationskin sensitizationgenotoxicityendocrine disruptorsactive compoundsassaycosmeceuticsfunctional cosmeticsHPLC-UVlabellingretinoidstocopherolubiquinoneβ carotenestability testingstability protocolaccelerated ageingshelf lifeminimally disruptive formulasdirect to consumerretail modelsensory testingrefractive indexcritical wavelengthturbidityskin hydrationcreamsResearch & information: generalChemistryPhysical chemistryDodou Kalliopiedt1313407Dodou KalliopiothBOOK9910585937803321Current and Evolving Practices in the Quality Control of Cosmetics3031394UNINA
