Once the formulation, the packaging, and the product development costs are approved, we will undergo testing of the product. Stability testing and safety assessments are compulsory for solid and liquid soaps. Stability tests ensure that the formulation remains stable under different physical conditions (temperature and light exposure), and safety assessments ensure the product is safe for consumer use. Liquids contain water and also require a microbiological testing, to make sure the product does become contaminated.
