Cosmetics

Cosmetic products, in addition to having undoubtedly beneficial effects on the human body, may also have harmful effects. A cosmetic is, above all, a chemical product which may contain substances hazardous to health.
THETA Consulting, with its team of experienced experts and cooperation with the best laboratories, is able to ensure the legal documentation of any cosmetic product.

Cosmetics, due to the way they are used, are special chemical mixtures and, as such, are subject to very strict rules with regard to the way they are manufactured, the permitted compositions, the tests to which they must be subjected before they reach the consumer, the documentation proving their safety, and the information to be provided to the user on the packaging.

The process of placing a cosmetic product on the market is extremely complicated, requiring cooperation between representatives of different disciplines (chemists, biologists, toxicologists).
