Ensuring Safety in Children's Cosmetics: The Role of FDA Approved Laboratories in Talc Testing

Talc-containing cosmetics for children require rigorous testing to ensure safety. Talc, valued for its silky texture and absorbent qualities, has faced scrutiny due to potential asbestos contamination. As an FDA approved laboratory, MAS provides comprehensive asbestos, lead, and contaminant testing to help manufacturers meet FDA, CPSC, and EPA standards. This article highlights the importance of proper talc testing and MAS’s role in ensuring safe products.
