Cosmetics can be a complicated product. They need to be tested for safety, and clients will often insist on a high level of certification consistent with regulations set by the US Food and Drug Administration and other government agencies. AQF provides state-of-the-art lab testing and product inspection services to ensure our client’s cosmetics are safe and effective for consumer use.
factory is holding all appropriate certifications and documents (in regard to FDA CFR Title 21-USA and EU Directive 76/768/EEC)Cosmetics, along with any other product that makes skin-contact with consumers, are subject to extremely stringent quality and safety standards.
Allowing products to ship without first performing a specialized Cosmetics Inspection to detect observable quality issues, as well as pull samples for lab testing can be disastrous for importers and retailers alike.
During your cosmetics inspections in China, AQF auditors will verify that your factory has current documentation for the materials used both in the cosmetics itself as well as its immediate packaging. Your products will be checked for all applicable dimensions, weights, labeling, and colorings, as AQF auditors will cross reference these values with any client-provided specifications.
If you manage a brand, retail operation, or have clients that are relying on you to provide a quality product in every shipment then do not settle for inspection companies who use untrained and underpaid local inspectors.
AQF QA teams are trained and our inspectors often have an engineering background. We’ll make sure you have the right team for the job and that your products are getting evaluated carefully and with high regard for product quality. Contact AQF today and schedule your next Cosmetics Inspection.
You guys are quite efficient in making sure that you are in constant communication with our vendors to set up a time and day to have inspections handled... InTouch definitely pushed to make sure that inspections would be done in a timely manner. Any corrective actions that had to take place were executed well before the exit factory date.

Since InTouch does a more detailed inspection than what we had depended on with the factories, the quality of the products has improved. Where before when we might find 25 AQL defects, now it's down to three or four,because the factory knows that we want that cut back and InTouch is going to find it.

InTouch’s auditing reduced the level of risk, whether known or unknown, to our company. From the audit findings provided by InTouch, we were much more equipped to make the correct business decision with regard to an acceptable level of risk. The InTouch audit secured our decision making process.
Jerry Davis
Vice President of Purchasing, MJS Packaging
One of our customers had been through multiple suppliers year after year and had been let down with returns and rejections. With InTouch as our eyes and ears on the ground, we retained that business for 5 years without one single rejection or complaint.
Nick Rivera
Director of Operations, MMI Textiles
The speed that we get the reports is always good. We had an experience with some other inspectors where we had to wait an extra day to get the reports. Getting the report as soon as we can is very important, so we can make a decision and give feedback back to the factory.

Operations and Engineering Manager, Juku Gear
From beginning to end, InTouch is so easy to work with. The inspection report is literally there the next morning when I come into work. It really makes my job easier.
