Dedicated to cosmetic manufacturers and importers in İzmir, Manisa, Aydın, Denizli, Muğla, Afyonkarahisar, Kütahya and Uşak: STE service, product safety reports, SDS and accredited laboratory testing in one place.
Each can be ordered on its own; planned together, tests, report and notifications come together in one file.
Under Türkiye's Cosmetic Products Regulation, the responsible person must have a Responsible Technical Person who checks that products comply with cosmetics legislation, GMP and related rules.
We prepare the mandatory cosmetic product safety assessment report (Annex I, Part A and B) with qualified safety assessors before your product is placed on the market.
16-section safety data sheets compliant with REACH Annex II (EU 2020/878) and CLP, in the languages of 40 countries — including UFI and PCN notification.
We organise the tests your safety assessment needs through contracted accredited laboratories and add the reports straight to your product file.
İzmir Laboratuvar is a regional project serving only companies in Türkiye's Aegean region — a team that knows the region, short lines of communication and personal follow-up.
Our services are limited to companies operating in these 8 provinces of the Aegean region.
We organise the tests your safety assessment needs through accredited partner laboratories and add the reports directly to your CPSR and PIF.
Bacteria, yeasts and moulds — the microbiological quality of each batch.
Counts the bacteria, yeasts and moulds in the product and checks for specified pathogens, showing that the product is safe to use and will not spoil.
For the microbiological quality section of the CPSR and for batch release — especially for water-based products.
Shows that the preservative system protects the product during use.
The product is deliberately inoculated with known microorganisms and their reduction is measured at set intervals, proving that the preservation protects the product throughout its use.
For water-containing and other products at microbial risk; low-risk products may be exempted after a documented risk assessment.
Confirms the product stays stable in its packaging until the end of its shelf life.
Tracks how appearance, colour, odour, pH, viscosity and weight change under different storage conditions, and whether the formula interacts with its packaging. The results support the shelf life or PAO on the label.
For every new formula or packaging change — required data for the CPSR.
Skin tolerance on volunteers or skin models — the basis for “dermatologically tested” claims.
Evaluates the risk of irritation or sensitisation, either on volunteers under dermatologist supervision or on reconstructed human skin models.
When you claim “dermatologically tested” or similar, and for products for sensitive skin, babies or the eye area.
Test plans are set per product by the safety assessor. Prices are quoted on request.
59 analyses carried out in accredited laboratories. Prices on request.
GC-MS/headspace quantification of this carcinogenic by-product of ethoxylated surfactants (SLES, PEG, polysorbates), proving it stays below the permitted trace level.
Quantifies 2-phenoxyethanol, one of the most widely used preservatives, by chromatography per Directive 96/45/EC, to verify compliance with the 1.0% limit in finished products.
Quantifies acetone in nail-polish removers and other products, for the technical file or to substantiate “acetone-free” claims.
Determines the total viable bacterial load per ISO 21149 to confirm production hygiene and product safety — a basic, mandatory step for every product file.
GC-FID determination of volatile impurities such as methanol, ethyl acetate and acetaldehyde in alcohol-based products, proving the absence of prohibited toxic impurities.
Measures the ethanol content of colognes, perfumes, toners, hand gels and hair lotions, verifying the alcohol degree declared on the label.
GC-FID/GC-MS screening for ethanol and its derivatives, used to substantiate “alcohol-free” claims on baby, eye-area and sensitive-skin products.
Quantifies aluminium compounds in deodorants, antiperspirants, sunscreens and colour cosmetics to verify compliance with safe-use limits.
Determines free ammonia in hair dyes, bleaches and nail products, to check legal limits or substantiate “ammonia-free” claims.
Quantifies anionic surfactants — the main cleansing and foaming agents in shampoos, shower gels and liquid soaps — per ISO 2271, to verify the specification.
Quantifies antimony, a risk metal that can migrate from pigments or packaging into colour cosmetics such as eyeshadow and blush.
Quantifies arsenic, a toxic element that can enter cosmetics from natural minerals, clays or water-based raw materials, against legal limits.

Key terms of the EU Cosmetics Regulation, CPNP and safety assessment — explained in plain language.
Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures; basis for hazard pictograms and H/P statements.

The person named in a notification whom authorities can contact about the product.
The European Commission's database of cosmetic substances and ingredients, with INCI names, functions and restrictions. It is informative, not legally binding.
Any substance or mixture intentionally used in the cosmetic product during manufacturing; ingredients are listed on the label by their INCI names.
Any substance or mixture intended to contact the external parts of the body (skin, hair, nails, lips, external genitals) or the teeth and oral mucosa, mainly to clean, perfume, change appearance, protect, keep in good condition or correct body odour.
The EU Cosmetic Products Notification Portal, where products are notified before being placed on the market and which gives authorities and poison centres access to product information.
Cosmetic Product Safety Report (Annex I): Part A gathers safety information, Part B contains the qualified safety assessor's conclusion.
A person authorised by the Responsible Person to submit nanomaterial notifications in CPNP on its behalf.
The amount of a substance that passes through the skin into the systemic circulation — a key input for calculating the SED.

The amount of a substance applied or taken up, usually expressed per kilogram of body weight per day (mg/kg bw/day).
A value from a toxicological study — such as NOAEL, LOAEL or LD50 — that describes the dose–response relationship and serves as the starting point for risk assessment.
