Sigma Analytical’s laboratory is capable of testing cosmetics, sunscreens, and personal care products. As Heavy Metal testing is a crucial test in cosmetics and personal care products, the regulatory authorities have implemented numerous measures to ensure minimization of the amount of heavy metals to which end users are exposed, including prohibiting their intentional use in cosmetics. Lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, antimony, and chromium are all heavy metal ingredients that are listed as prohibited on the Cosmetic Ingredient Hotlist. The metals of primary toxicological concern in cosmetics are lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and antimony. Sigma conducts heavy metal testing for various types of cosmetic and personal care products to assist with commercializing safe products to the intended markets, including US, EU, and Canada.

Sigma Analytical’s team of experienced scientists and technicians are dedicated to providing the highest quality of service and support to ensure that your products comply with the applicable regulations and standards, including those set by US, EU, and Health Canada.
