- Review of stability testing, preservative efficacy, environmental monitoring, water systems, and raw material identity verification.
Ingredient Category Oversight (Cosmetics)
Cosmetic formulations rely on diverse raw materials with specific quality and regulatory requirements. Arirex verifies ingredient safety, purity, and compliance with ISO and EU Cosmetic Regulation (EC) 1223/2009.
Key ingredient categories we review:
- Oils & Emollients: Checked for purity, oxidation, and contamination risk.
- Surfactants & Emulsifiers: Evaluated for impurities and formulation compatibility.
- Colorants & Pigments: Verified for heavy metals and EU approved usage.
- Fragrances & Allergens: Assessed for IFRA compliance and allergen declarations.
- Preservatives: Confirmed for safe concentration ranges and challenge test support.
- Botanical Extracts: Reviewed for microbial load, allergens, and batch consistency.
This ensures raw materials meet global safety expectations and support robust formulation quality.
Food Safety & Nutraceutical Auditing
ISO 22000 / FSSC 22000 / HACCP
- Auditing of food safety management systems, hazard controls, prerequisite programs, and certification readiness based on ISO 22000:2018 and Codex HACCP
Nutraceutical GMP
- Evaluation of dietary supplement production controls including raw material qualification, identity testing, batch processing, and stability programs.
- Inline references: EHPM Quality Guide, FDA 21 CFR 111.
Labeling & Claims Verification
- Assessment of regulatory compliance for labeling, ingredient declarations, claims substantiation, allergen management, COA verification, and contaminant testing.
Ingredient Category Oversight (Food & Nutraceuticals)
Food and nutraceutical products require strict control of raw materials to ensure safety, authenticity, and regulatory compliance. Arirex reviews ingredient categories such as:
- Vitamins & Minerals: Verification of potency, purity, and label claim accuracy.
- Botanical Extracts: Assessment for microbial contamination, pesticides, heavy metals, and standardized active markers.
- Proteins & Amino Acids: Validation of identity, adulteration risk, and nitrogen based assay accuracy.
- Sweeteners & Flavors: Checked for purity, regulatory approval, and allergen status.
- Probiotics & Enzymes: Evaluation of viable counts, strain identity, stability, and storage conditions.
- Oils, Fats & Nutritional Lipids: Reviewed for oxidation, rancidity indicators, and contaminant limits.
This ingredient level oversight supports safe, consistent, and compliant production across your supply chain.
