Analyse cosmétique végétalienne
Certificat de produit cosmétique végétalien
Today, with the changing perception of beauty, the sector with a large market after food products is the cosmetics sector. Cosmetic products go through many tests and analyzes until they reach the consumer. These analyzes are primarily important for human health as cosmetic products come into direct contact with human skin for a long time.
Another area that is growing day by day in the cosmetics sector is the production of “Vegan Kozmetik” products. Veganism is not only a diet but also a way of life. Since vegans do not accept an animal-based product in any of the products they consume or use, the cosmetics industry takes the necessary steps in this regard.
