Cosmetic lab equipment incubators

Are you looking to purchase an incubator for cosmetic shelf life testing (stability testing) and not sure what type to purchase? In this video, Belinda shows you the incubators they use for cosmetic testing at the Institute of Personal Care Science and talks you through the features you should look for if you want to purchase an incubator. She also goes through the size of different incubators and what would represent good value for small brands to invest in their own stability and shelf life testing.

Thank you.

Thanks Thanks sooo.. much Belinda ,,for sharing this video..I also request you to please show a video about raw materials (If Possible)
?? DO we have to conduct any raw material testing.. like as we conduct testing on finished product for stability and microbial challenges..OR I think COA is enough and when we buy from supplier ,,we can use raw material or actives in formulation without any additional testing..THANKS

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

No you definitely need to test raw materials, especially from smaller suppliers and also depending on their risk. We cover this in our unit on microbiology, it is a quite involved topic, I'm not sure if it would suit a 10 minute youtube video, but you can study the whole topic with us as part of our Quality & Stability program, available as a training package only or as a full Certificate.

Hi thank you for the video very i formative as usual. So we always need 2 incubators for higher temperatures?

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

Thank you for watching! For proper accelerated stability testing, yes you do. Learn how to conduct stability testing properly with our Certificate in Cosmetic Quality and Stability: personalcarescience.com.au/CosmeticScience/CertificateinCosmeticQualityandStability-1983/

Hello IPCS, I was to buy an incubator for my small brand..This video will be a great help for me. Please my question is 1) Is there any difference between stability chamber (refrigerator size) and incubator.2) is light [photo] testing necessary for small brands.

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

Light testing does not often replicate accelerated or real time conditions; so it can be helpful, but can also give false results too. Be careful with interpreting your test results. A stability chamber is an incubator, just different names. Hope this helps!

Thanks blinda, isn't 40 degrees enough to judge stability as in pharmaceutical field by ICH GUIDELINES?

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

It is one test you can run - one test is not enough to base your shelf life predictions on though.

Hi Belinda. Is it ok if the incubator to be used for stability testing has no relative humidity control feature? Or is it really required?

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

Its not required for cosmetic products - therapeutic/drug products do need this feature. For cosmetics, as long as you check for water ingress or loss (using specific gravity, for example) then you don't need the humidity control feature. Happy formulating!
