Shampoo Tests

At MassLab, we offer extensive Shampoo Testing services to ensure that cosmetic products meet the quality, safety, and efficacy standards required in the market. Since shampoos are frequently used in daily life, it is essential that they are both safe and effective. Our shampoo tests are designed to ensure that products protect user health while delivering optimal performance.

Importance of Shampoo Testing

Shampoos come into direct contact with hair and scalp, so their formulations must be free from harmful substances and allergens, provide effective cleansing, and not damage the skin. Ensuring that shampoos do not cause irritation and deliver the promised results is crucial for consumer safety and satisfaction.
