Creative Biolabs is an internationally operating testing laboratory that provides a series of chemical analysis services for cosmetic products. Our comprehensive testing capabilities meet the international regulatory requirements for cosmetic products. Now we provide a novel screening service for allergens testing.

The Introduction of Allergens in Cosmetic Products

Allergic reactions, also known as hypersensitivity reactions, are overreactions of the immune system to normally harmless substances. Allergens are non-parasitic antigens that can promote hypersensitivity reactions in atopic individuals. Cosmetic products can also cause allergic reactions in some people, such as itchy skin, red rashes, and contact dermatitis. Contact allergens tend to have low molecular weights and can form covalent bonds with carrier proteins in the skin.

Common Allergens in Cosmetic Products

• Natural rubber - a milky fluid that comes from plants lead to allergic reactions for the latex-sensitive person.
• Fragrances - a combination of chemicals derived from petroleum or natural raw materials to give each perfume or cologne its distinct scent.
• Preservatives - the substances added to cosmetic products to prevent the growth of microorganisms or decomposition caused by undesirable chemical changes.
• Dyes - a colored substance that can chemically bond with the applied substrate.
• Metals - heavy metals like nickel or gold have been found in a wide variety of cosmetic products as ingredients or contaminants.

Allergen Screening Service

Generally speaking, Fragrances and fragrance components may cause contact allergy and a series of subsequent adverse reactions. Therefore, cosmetic manufacturers are obliged to provide information about allergens to ensure consumer safety. Creative Biolabs now provides the allergen screening service using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry/mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS). Our novel system allows the screening of more than 50 unique allergens in fragrances and raw materials used in cosmetic products. Compared with the traditional GC-MS methods, its high operating efficiency avoids the risk of false positives that may occur when the "matrix effect" is caused by the presence of other substances in the sample during the test. In summary, we can help to reduce the risk of cosmetic products that may cause adverse reactions during the production process.
