Consumer products

In order to satisfy regulatory standards that assure consumer confidence, it is vital that companies implement development, quality assurance, and quality control processes that ensure product safety.
 
LGC Health Sciences has a wealth of experience in supporting these activities which, together with our investigative and surveillance capabilities, help you develop safe and effective consumer products.

We support a wide range of product types, including healthcare, childcare, personal and home care, and  provide expert analysis and advice to help companies meet regulatory requirements, investigate factors in product failures and conduct product de-formulation.  Examples of products we work with include toothpastes, mouthwashes, opthalmics, toys, shampoos, cosmetics, laundry detergents and softeners.

Innovation of new analytical methodology is the foundation of our portfolio of services. Our scientists participate in ISO and European working parties and committees that develop, evaluate and collaboratively trial safety testing methods. The technical investment in analytical development enables continuous improvement in laboratory techniques and services.

.

Our range of services include:


We operate the TOYTEST proficiency testing scheme which allows laboratories involved in the safety testing of toys to monitor their analysis against current European and American standards.
