  • (1888PressRelease) November 28, 2020 - SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, has launched an online resource which places the safety and efficacy testing of cosmetics and personal care products center stage.

    In a competitive market, with ever-changing regulatory requirements, this new resource showcases the range of services available to manufacturers and brand owners to ensure safe and compliant skincare, haircare and sunscreen products for consumers all over the world.

Manufacturers and brands need not only to meet the requirements of an increasingly complex regulatory landscape, but also to meet the expectations of consumers.
