Stability Form Template

Stability testing essentially is an experiment in which a batch of formula is created and placed into different environmental conditions for a set period of time. These conditions vary in temperature and humidity, and are meant to simulate what happens to the product during its life cycle. It is very important to note that cosmetics naturally degrade over time, and stability testing can reveal the extent to which they degrade by measuring factors such as:

• The natural degradation rate
• A product’s ability to resist microbial growth
• The product’s reactivity to packaging materials
• Product response to heat, humidity and light.

The key objectives of stability testing is to ensure that a product maintains its intended physical, chemical and microbiological qualities as well as functionality and aesthetics when stored under appropriate conditions. Also, being able to foresee any stability issues of the product over time (within its useful life span), between the formulation and the container material.

If you are just starting out and would like a basic Stability Protocol, you can purchase our BASIC template which offers you the parameters for your Regular Stability & Freeze Thaw Protocols. Allows you to test and document the colour, odour or fragrance, pH value, viscosity, texture, flow and emulsion stability, or signs of separation.

If you are requiring a more advanced templete that allows you to perform a full Stability, Freeze Thaw & Packaging Protocol, then the ADVANCED Templete is for you! It offers the BASIC with the addition to evaluate the effect of packaging on the contained product.
