Ensuring Quality, Safety, and Compliance in Sunscreen Products

As the demand for safe, effective sun protection continues to grow, brands and manufacturers face increasing pressure to ensure every ingredient and finished product meets the highest standards of quality and compliance. From mineral formulations containing titanium dioxide (TiO₂) and zinc oxide (ZnO) to chemical sunscreens with actives like avobenzone, octisalate, and octocrylene, every component must be verified for identity, potency, and purity.

Scientech Laboratories supports manufacturers across the full product lifecycle—from raw material qualification to finished product release. Rather than relying solely on supplier Certificates of Analysis (COAs), Scientech provides independent testing to confirm material quality and consistency before production begins. We also perform FDA cGMP-compliant batch and lot release testing to ensure finished products meet label claims and regulatory expectations.

Scientech's advanced analytical capabilities include ICP-MS for precise determination of TiO₂ and ZnO, and HPLC methods for quantifying chemical sunscreen actives. With extensive experience developing and validating cGMP-compliant methods across a range of product forms including sprays, creams, and sticks, Scientech delivers accurate, reliable results—typically within 3–5 days for established methods.

With over 45 years of experience, Scientech Laboratories is a MoCRA-registered, FDA cGMP-compliant, and ISO 17025-accredited partner to the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, OTC drug, and dietary supplement industries. Our services include potency testing, impurity profiling, heavy metals analysis, nitrosamines, extractables & leachables, microbiology, stability studies, and more.

Ensure your suppliers, materials, and finished products meet the highest standards of quality, safety, and compliance.
