Health and Personal Care Reference Materials

 Health and personal care products, such as cosmetics or skincare items, can contribute to environmental contamination through manufacturing processes or improper disposal. Active ingredients, preservatives and other chemicals from these products can end up in natural water bodies - potentially impacting aquatic life and ecosystems.

Regular testing is important to ensure that proper disposal and wastewater treatment procedures are adhered to, and to minimise environmental impacts. Health and personal care reference materials play a key role in accurately identifying and quantifying these contaminants in environmental samples, and health and personal care product testing can also help manufacturers stay up to date with the latest safety and quality regulations, including MoCRA.
