Ensure the safety and the efficacy of your products

Beyond a pleasant texture and perfectly successful organoleptic characteristics, a cosmetic product must meet regulatory constraints and justify them through R&D tests.

CosmeFITS will guide you through all the necessary tests to rigorously comply with current regulations.
