Testing for UV Degradation in Cosmetic Pouches and Sachets
Testing for UV Degradation in Cosmetic Pouches and Sachets Protect Your Brands Reputation
The cosmetic industry is a multi-billion dollar market that demands quality, safety, and consistency from its products. One crucial aspect of ensuring the integrity of your cosmetic products is testing their packaging for ultraviolet (UV) degradation. At Eurolab, we offer comprehensive laboratory services to help you evaluate the impact of UV light on your cosmetic pouches and sachets.
What is UV Degradation?
UV degradation occurs when the materials used in your packaging are exposed to sunlight or artificial UV light, causing them to break down over time. This can lead to changes in color, texture, and even structural integrity of the packaging. For cosmetic products, particularly those packaged in pouches and sachets, UV degradation can result in
Discoloration or fading of colors
Cracking or brittleness of materials
Loss of fragrance or potency
Unpleasant odors or residues

Prevent product recalls By identifying potential issues early on, you can avoid costly recalls and protect your brands image.
