CEPRA for Chemicals Testing

Heavy Metals

We carry out lab test of METALS AND HEAVY METALS in accordance with UNI EN ISO 21392: 2021 on raw materials and cosmetic products.

The UNI EN ISO 21392: 2021 standard represents a turning point in the field of laboratory analyzes on cosmetics:

  • it is the first complete, unambiguous and detailed, and therefore self-supporting, official regulation regarding the analysis of metals in cosmetics
  • the criticality of the incomplete mineralization of inorganic components (titanium oxides, silicates) which prevent the complete dissolution of the metals contained in their internal crystalline lattice is addressed: these metals, not being able to be released under the conditions envisaged by the legislation, do not raise the level of exposure towards the consumer.
