    Decontamination or sterilization of cosmetics and personal care products

    Consumers trust that products are clean and safe and will not adversely affect their health, safety, and well-being. No matter where in the world your cosmetic ingredients are manufactured or formulated, Sterigenics can help you meet required safety standards and reduce microbial counts.

    Cosmetic products are often formulated from a blend of natural, raw, and chemical materials. Sterigenics routinely processes cosmetics and packaging to reduce bacteria counts, as well as sporadic contaminations, to help ensure the safe distribution of a wide variety of health and beauty aids (HBA).

    What cosmetic products are sterilized or decontaminated?

    Cosmetic products that are typically treated for mold and yeast contamination and microbial reduction include, but are not limited, to:

    • Talc
    • Pigments
    • Botanicals
    • Hemp (for cosmetic purposes only)

    Did you know?

    Cosmetics contaminated with sporadic mold or yeast can be decontaminated with gamma processing. Gamma irradiation is a non-invasive process, which means cosmetics are not removed from their packaging. Gamma penetrates various types of packaging and reaches all microorganisms regardless of the intricacies of the package. Post-irradiation, there are no residuals left on the product. Products salvaged. Problem Solved.
