Advancing brand loyalty by evaluating HBC product performance.

Beauty may not be skin deep, but personal care products must be skin safe and perform as promised to maintain consumer loyalty. In this fiercely competitive category, STR is the technical resource of choice for producers of everything from soaps and body washes to antiperspirants and shampoos. Health and Beauty Care clients come to us because of our unique combination of product expertise, comprehensive testing facilities and customized quality assurance programs.

In addition to our full-service lab testing and consumer and expert sensory services, STR also offers Health and Beauty Care clients unparalleled expertise in developing and implementing advanced QA programs to help ensure that products continue to meet consumer expectations as well as industry and regulatory standards. We regularly perform comparative studies, plant cGMP audits, inspect and test raw materials for microbiological and chemical attributes, substantiate marketing claims and monitor supply chain stability anywhere in the world.

We service a wide range of health and beauty care product categories including cosmetics, hair and skin care, incontinence, feminine hygiene, and dental care. 

State-of-the-art facilities, a gold-standard reputation and comprehensive, customized services: We’ve put them to work for our Health and Beauty Care clients every day for 60 years.
