ISO cosmetic refers to the ISO 22716 standard, which provides guidelines for the production, control, storage, and shipment of cosmetic products. It's about ensuring product quality through documented and regulated processes.
In essence, ISO 22716 doesn't define a specific type of cosmetic, but rather a set of best practices for the manufacturing of cosmetics.
Here's a breakdown of what the ISO 22716 standard covers:
- Production: This includes everything from raw material sourcing to the manufacturing process itself, ensuring consistency and quality.
- Control: Implementing quality control measures at various stages of production to identify and address potential issues.
- Storage: Maintaining appropriate storage conditions to prevent degradation or contamination of both raw materials and finished products.

The standard provides practical methods for managing factors that can affect cosmetic product quality. Adhering to ISO 22716 helps organizations:
- Maintain consistent product quality.
- Comply with regulations.
