Luamed
Delivering End-To-End Toxicological Evaluation

Cosmetics manufacturers are often burdened by an alphabet soup of compliance requirements, which delays the time-to-market of their products. Due to dynamic regulatory changes, manufacturers must reformulate their existing products to remain in the market. Luamed, a regulatory services expert, alleviates these issues with end-to-end laboratory testing and regulatory consulting services, enabling cosmetics and personal care manufacturers to get out of the compliance quagmire. It ensures that its clients stay on top of all the regulatory changes and testing requirements for their existing and upcoming products.

“We are an all in one shop for all the regulatory and testing requirements of cosmetic and personal care companies,” states Tanja Židan, CEO at Luamed.

Luamed initially began with responsible person services, regulatory consulting, and safety assessment services. Its in-house laboratory was established in 2017 to render basic cosmetic testing, including built-in compatibility testing, challenge testing, and microbiological purity examination. Building on this trajectory, Luamed evolved into an end-to-end regulatory and testing company by including a variety of testing services in its portfolio. Today, the company’s services include microbiological tests, proof of shelf life and stability, and tests for preservative and performance efficacy of products.

Additionally, Luamed provides proof for claims related to the products both in laboratory settings and in customer use.

The ISO9001 certified company upholds the highest standards of regulatory compliance, conducting its product testing functions to meet international standards. The company performs internal and external audits of its quality management services and working systems at regular intervals to ensure compliance with the relevant standards for its clients. Strict adherence is paid to guidelines and protocols set by the industry and recognized by authorities, where relevant standards do not exist. Product formulations vary significantly, so Luamed offers customized testing protocols to fulfill the specific testing requirements of its clients.

More importantly, as cosmetics manufacturers struggle to keep up with dynamic regulatory changes, Luamed helps them stay on top of what affect their products. It has designed a unique software program that stores all client formulations, enabling the company to alert its clients of any relevant regulatory changes.

The company boasts an experienced and proficient team that strives to deliver timely and efficient testing and regulatory consulting services. Leveraging its vast toxicological profile, Luamed’s team performs the safety assessment of a product within hours. The in-house laboratory works six days a week, ensuring that clients receive the test reports on schedule; Luamed’s team is available around the clock to mitigate any contingencies faced by clients.

So far, Luamed has provided testing and regulatory services to numerous small, medium, and large corporations across more than 17 countries. The company has offered a variety of testing services for more than 2400 cosmetic and personal care products, from a single test to a full-service package that validates the safety, efficacy, and regulatory compliance of products. These products include perfumes, toiletries, hair care, body care, dental care, skin care products, personal care products, and makeup.

Due to the dynamic compliance and regulatory requirements across industries, Luamed plans to bolster its testing services to other industry verticals in the near future, and is expanding its laboratory to include more testing services for its clients across the globe.
