How
Is Your
Favorite
Product
Really
Made?
As skin care professionals, we use and retail
countless products in our practices. But have you
ever wondered what process your favorite skin
care products go through before ending up in your
business? Cosmetic laboratories, both big and
small, follow complex and intricate procedures
during the manufacturing stages to ensure the
quality and safety of every batch. When it comes to
commercial cosmetic labs, everything—including
the setup at its location, storage of raw ingredients,
information on labels, and every aspect in
between—is subject to good manufacturing
practices (GMPs).
