Skin Powder Testing (IS: 3959)

Universal Testing & Research Center (Division of Sustainable Stewardship Private Limited), an ISO 17025:2017 certified Laboratory approved by BIS, NABL and QAI.Testing of skin powder, often referred to as body powder or talcum powder, involves various assessments to ensure the product's quality, safety, and adherence to regulatory standards.

Quality Test Parameters:

  • Ingredient Analysis:
    Verify the composition of the skin powder to ensure it contains the specified ingredients in the correct concentrations. Common ingredients may include talc, cornstarch, fragrances, and other additives.
  • Particle Size Distribution:
    Measure the particle size distribution of the powder to ensure it has the desired texture and can be easily applied to the skin. Consistency in particle size is important for a smooth and even application.
  • Microbiological Testing:
    Check for the presence of harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria, yeast, and mold, to ensure that the powder is free from contamination that could pose health risks.
  • Heavy Metal Analysis:
    Test for the presence of heavy metals, such as lead, arsenic, and mercury, which may be present in trace amounts. Ensuring that heavy metal levels are within acceptable limits is crucial for product safety.
  • Fragrance Testing:
    Verify the presence and concentration of any fragrances in the skin powder. Fragrance testing is important for consumers who may have sensitivities or preferences regarding scented products.
  • Absorbency Testing:
    Assess the absorbency of the powder to ensure it effectively absorbs excess moisture on the skin. This is particularly important for skin powders used for preventing chafing and maintaining skin dryness.
  • pH Testing:
    Measure the pH level of the skin powder to ensure it is within the appropriate range for skin compatibility. An improper pH can potentially irritate the skin.
  • Stability Testing:
    Examine the stability of the skin powder under different conditions, including temperature and humidity. Stability testing helps determine the product's shelf life and ensures it remains effective over time.
