Cosmetics manufacturers cater to a market with consumer expenditures exceeding $35 billion annually. Manufacturers are responsible for substantiating the safety of their products and ingredients while maintaining compliance with regulations. Recent product recalls due to contamination and usage of non-permitted color additives have heightened industry and consumer awareness concerning product safety. Company growth is adversely affected by recalls of hazardous or defective products or misbranded products.
Continuous improvement involving changes in processes, ingredients, and branding requires proper change management documentation by manufacturers in order to maintain compliance. Updated and complete ingredient lists must be included on product packaging furthering the necessity for efficient document control. Product safety can be demonstrated using supplier audits which examine incoming raw materials. Internal audits can further substantiate product safety by reviewing the product, process, facilities, and laboratory controls at various stages during the production process. Key equipment efficiency and performance can also be assessed through benchmark comparisons and scheduled calibrations and maintenance.
