Descriptions
In the cosmetics and personal care industry, metal detection is commonly implemented, though not universally required. The primary reasons include meeting quality standards, preventing product recalls, and ensuring consumer safety. It may also be required by clients or in accordance with certifications like ISO 22716 (Cosmetics GMP).
Common examples include:
- Products with fine powders (e.g., face powders, eyeshadows)
- Creams and lotions (to avoid contamination during manufacturing or packaging)
- Hair care products (shampoos, conditioners, etc.)
- Deodorants and other personal care items that may undergo mechanical processing or be stored in metal containers.
