In cosmetic quality control, corticosteroid screening is used to review prohibited-addition or cross-contamination risk, especially for products claiming fast soothing, repair, acne care, itch relief, or sensitive-skin use. This testing is for cosmetic samples and is not used to issue human health conclusions.
Items to Confirm Before Submission
| Item | Review Focus |
|---|---|
| Product type | Confirm cream, lotion, serum, mask, acne-care product, soothing/repair product, or wash-off product. |
| Claim content | Review whether fast-effect, soothing, itch-relief, repair, sensitive-skin, or efficacy-related wording needs risk screening. |
| Sample batch | Record finished-product batch, retained sample, raw-material source, OEM information, and packaging condition. |
| Testing scope | Confirm screening items and method applicability based on regulatory, platform, buyer, or internal risk-control needs. |
| Report use | Separate R&D screening, outgoing quality control, platform inspection, buyer audit, and complaint review. |
Report Boundary
A corticosteroid screening report should match the tested sample, batch, test items, and method. Formula, supplier, production line, batch, or label-claim changes should not be covered automatically by a previous report.
Green Ark Recommendation
Green Ark (Shenzhen) Certification Co., Ltd. recommends raw-material review, production cross-mixing control, retained-sample management, and periodic sampling for higher-risk categories. For cross-border or platform sales, label claims, ingredient compliance, and restricted-substance screening should be reviewed together.
