Body Oil Tests

At MassLab, we offer extensive body oil testing services to ensure that your products meet the highest quality, safety, and efficacy standards. Body oils, used for moisturizing, soothing, and providing various therapeutic benefits, are applied directly to the skin. Therefore, it is essential that they are both effective and safe for use.

Importance of Body Oil Testing

Body oils are an integral part of daily skincare routines. They must not only deliver on their promises—such as hydration and soothing effects—but also be free from harmful ingredients that could trigger allergic reactions or skin irritation. Our body oil tests are designed to confirm that your products meet all required safety, quality, and performance standards, ensuring consumer protection and satisfaction.
