The cosmetic industry must make sure that all products are safe for consumer use, and that they will not damage the skin or cause allergic reactions. This is why product testing is so important. Testing of cosmetic products is one of the most important classes of products to be evaluated before consumer use. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to ensure the safety of their product and its ingredients before they hit the store’s shelves.

FAQs

What furniture does a cosmetics testing lab need?
A typical cosmetics lab is built around chemical-resistant benching for formulation and sample prep, a fume hood where volatile ingredients and solvents are handled, steel casework for raw materials and finished samples, and sinks with compliant fixtures for cleaning glassware and equipment. CatLabPro stocks all of these.
Which work surface suits cosmetic formulation work?
Phenolic resin is the common choice — it is chemical-resistant, non-porous, easy to wipe down after oils, pigments and surfactants, and cost-effective. Epoxy resin is the step up where the lab works with aggressive solvents or requires higher heat resistance. Stainless steel is used where sanitation is the driving concern. See lab work surfaces.
Do we need a fume hood for a cosmetics lab?
If your work involves volatile solvents, fragrance compounds, aerosol formulations or any process producing hazardous vapors, yes. CatLabPro supplies ducted hoods that vent outdoors and ductless hoods that filter and recirculate air — the ductless option often suits labs in leased or multi-tenant buildings where external ductwork isn’t feasible. Browse fume hoods.
How should raw ingredients and solvents be stored?
CatLabPro supplies dedicated safety storage cabinets for flammables and for acids. They are clearly marked, made from high-grade steel with special seals and self-closing doors, and can be specified with perforated shelves and venting where required.
Are the surfaces easy to clean between formulation batches?
Yes. Phenolic surfaces are non-porous, resist staining from pigments and oils, and can be disinfected without supporting bacterial growth. Powder-coated steel bases resist chemicals and corrosion under repeated cleaning.
Can we equip both a small formulation bench and a full testing lab?
Yes. The stocked range covers everything from a single bench and sink through to a full multi-station testing lab, and because products are stocked rather than made to order, expanding later means reordering the same models.
Are the products compliant with lab safety standards?
Products are SEFA 8 compliant and fume hoods are tested for OSHA and SEFA compliance. OSHA also requires emergency safety equipment where workers handle hazardous chemicals (29 CFR 1910.151) — eyewash stations and safety showers are available through our lab fixtures range.
How fast can we get furniture for a new cosmetics lab?
Products are in stock and typically ship within 5–7 days of order. Installation is not provided; assembly is light and requires only a screwdriver. All products carry a 1-year warranty.
