The cosmetic industry encompasses the production and distribution of various cosmetic items. While a few major multinational corporations trace their roots back to the early 20th century, the market for cosmetics involves a diverse array of businesses involved in distribution and sales. Cosmetic products must meet safety standards when used as directed or in common usage scenarios outlined on their labels. One method to ensure product safety is through rigorous testing. Periodically, the FDA conducts tests as part of its research initiatives or when investigating potential safety concerns. Access to FDA resources on product testing benefits both industry professionals and consumers. Leading players in the cosmetic sector include L'Oreal, Estée Lauder, Coty, Nivea, STARS cosmetics and Chanel [1]. Regardless of whether you plan to commercialize your cosmetic creations, prioritizing top-notch quality is essential. Inferior products can swiftly diminish your enthusiasm for crafting cosmetics. Maintaining consistent quality involves various elements [2]. Quality control procedures for cosmetics play a pivotal role in ensuring the delivery of safe products to consumers. Although largely unseen, these processes are integral in determining the assortment of items on retail shelves. The meticulous inspection of makeup products directly impacts consumer health, underlining the importance of comprehending cosmetic product testing. Subpar and potentially hazardous products could flood the market without quality control measures. Control tests serve to ascertain cosmetic stability, guaranteeing consumer safety and satisfaction [3]. In India, the cosmetic industry has experienced remarkable growth, with an annual increase of approximately 20%, reaching a valuation of US$950 million. This industry aligns with the UNDP's Sustainable Development Goals for 2030, specifically under the category of industry, innovation, and infrastructure [4].
