Stability and Compatibility testing is performed to ensure the formula will not change when it is filled in your packaging. This process typically takes 3 months and is performed using a series of six or more tests depending on packaging components and testing needs.
Upon product approval, the customer has the option of running a Package Stability and Compatibility Test. For AMR to guarantee the stability of the product, we require that this test be done with using the exact packaging that will be used to go to market.
These tests will evaluate the product’s integrity and cohesion once introduced to the specific packaging which will be used by the customer. The Research and Development team will re-create the customer’s approved formula, exactly as it is approved, and will run six or more tests inside the exact packaging component which the customer chooses for his or her product. One exact bottle of the final packaging is required per test.
