PRESERVATIVE REDUCTION
With Increasing Regulatory Framework
EVERY STEP OF THE WAY
The main regulatory framework for finished cosmetic products placed on the EU market is Regulation (EC) 1223/2009 on cosmetic products (EU Cosmetics Regulation)
Governance on substances that may, or may not, be included in cosmetic products.
Annex II – Prohibited substances
Annex III – Restricted Substances
Annex IV – Colorants
Annex V – Preservatives
Annex VI – UV-Filters

ANNEX V - PRESERVATIVES
Allowable & Unallowable
Governs the use of list of allowable preservatives in 28 countries.
By default, this list also indicates which preservatives are not allowed by exclusion
Ex: Methylisothiazolinone, commonly used but no longer allowed.
Governs acceptable use under certain concentrations.
Ex: Poly hexamethylene biguinide hydrochloride (PHMB) must now be used at < 0.1%
While list contains 50+ approved preservatives, few options exist.
Preservatives must be compatible with formulation

THE PROBLEM WITH PRESERVATIVES…
Dwindling options
Preservatives that are not aligned with Annex V must be discontinued or used in reduced concentrations.
Allowed preservatives are often pH-dependent, temperature sensitive or specific to formula.
Sometimes requires re-formulation around the preservative alone.
Introduces risk of failure if not properly evaluated for antimicrobial activity, sensitivity, and long-term stability.
Alternative preservatives do not have the long term data that the old, standby preservatives have.
Additional requirements and longer time-to-market to allow for proper risk assessment.

the old methods of dirty manufacturing are
no longer acceptable

Cosmetic manufacturers must be concerned about the safety of their ingredients while ensuring
their product is free of contamination.

KEEPING PACE WITH REGULATORY EXPECTATIONS
…and responding to the pressures of business
EVERY STEP OF THE WAY
Pressure to release product to market as fast as possible, while ensuring the safety of its ingredients and from adulteration.
Consumer demands are trending toward preservative-free, all natural formulation claims, while they still expect a clean product.
Regulatory requirements continue to increase, while the amount of allowable preservatives in your product continues to decrease, with few new options coming to market.
Production can no longer rely on their preservatives to keep their product clean and free of microbial contamination and must adapt or fail in the eyes of regulators and the consumer.

ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY BEGINS IN PRODUCTION
Not with Formulation
EVERY STEP OF THE WAY
Antimicrobial activity is a primary criteria in selection of a preservative system.
Microbial contamination is primarily introduced through three main points, both of which are in your manufacturing process:
Water used in production.
The raw materials and ingredients of your product.
Your environment and your personnel.
These initial sources of contamination, lead to continual sources of contamination in your equipment.

EVERY STEP OF THE WAY
Is unknown or uncontrolled microbial contamination during production making you
preservative-dependent?
Why not control your process instead?

ACHIEVING A STATE OF CLEAN-BY-DESIGN
Reducing Risk by Proactive Quality
EVERY STEP OF THE WAY
Manufacturers need to adapt to increased regulatory demand and consumer expectations by adopting cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practices) standards for their production process.
cGMP’s involve consistent, well-documented, and proven practices for inspection of:
Environmental sampling of equipment, personnel, and manufacturing areas.
Microbial testing of water, raw materials, and finished products.
Secure, complete, and appropriate documentation of results and records.

ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE
EVERY STEP OF THE WAY
Guidance can be found in:
ISO 22716:2007 - Cosmetics - Guidelines on Good Manufacturing Practices
FDA Guidance For Industry - Cosmetic Good Manufacturing Practices

EVERY STEP OF THE WAY
Raw materials, in-process samples, and final product testing should be implemented as part of a
good manufacturing process
addressing contamination earlier and faster.

ALTERNATIVE MICROBIAL DETECTION METHODS
Rapid microbial detection technology allows companies to quickly and accurately determine whether a product is contaminated, identify the exact organism, and confirm the quality of the product.

PROACTIVE QUALITY SYSTEMS REDUCE RISK
What if you do find a positive result?
The cosmetic products industry has a known history of recall notices that name the following organisms as microbial contaminants: B. cepacia, P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, E. coli., K. pneumoniae, and S. marcescens.
Aside from the obvious concern for consumer safety, a microbial contamination is also costly in terms of immediate financial impact and longer-term damage to the brand’s reputation.
So how can you reduce the risk of a product recall associated with these and other known harmful organisms?
Environmental monitoring
Accurate and reliable microbial identification
Tracking and trending EM data

THE IMPORTANCE OF ACCURATE IDENTIFICATIONS & EM
EVERY STEP OF THE WAY
The first step in most risk-reduction approaches is identification and characterization of the objectionable organism.
The next step is accurate identification, which can only occur if the organism is present in the microbial library that is referenced.
Environmental monitoring (EM) is a fundamental aspect of cGMP compliance and is a proven strategy for contamination risk mitigation for cosmetic manufacturers.
Accurate identification of environmental isolates plays an important role in this strategy because it helps record the routine flora of the facility and allows the quality system managers to detect and analyze any deviations from the norm.
The Environmental Monitoring Program
Measures and documents the State of Control of the facility
Quality of the environment
Acts as early warning surveillance system
The Isolate of Concern
Risk management - Evaluate level of risk
Origin of contamination
Is the isolate objectionable?
CAPA planning to mitigate risk

EVERY STEP OF THE WAY
WHY TREND ORGANISMS?
When you have confidence in your ID results, you can gain a better understanding of your manufacturing environment and the ability to aggregate and trend EM data.
But collecting and managing this data can be difficult and time-consuming, which is why having the right tool to automate these processes can lead to significant time (and cost) savings.
