Shelf stability studies

Shelf stability studies are critical in developing nutricosmetics, which are oral supplements designed to improve skin, hair, and nail health. Nutricosmetics may contain various active ingredients, including vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other bioactive compounds. Shelf stability studies for nutricosmetics typically involve assessing the stability of these active ingredients over time and the physical and microbiological stability of the product as a whole. Some key factors that may be evaluated in shelf stability studies for nutricosmetics include:

Active ingredient stability: The stability of vitamins, minerals, and other active ingredients in the product over time, particularly under conditions such as temperature, humidity, and light exposure that may affect their stability.
Physical stability: The stability of the product’s appearance, colour, texture, and other physical properties over time, including changes in particle size or aggregation.
Microbiological stability: The stability of the product’s microbiological properties over time, including changes in the total microbial count and the presence of specific microorganisms that may affect product safety and efficacy.
Packaging compatibility: The product’s compatibility with its packaging, including its ability to protect it from external factors that may affect its stability.

The results of shelf stability studies for nutricosmetics can be used to establish the product’s shelf life and storage recommendations and inform labelling and marketing claims. These studies can also help identify potential issues during storage, such as ingredient degradation or microbial growth, and inform formulation and packaging decisions to improve product stability. Shelf stability studies are a critical component of developing nutricosmetics, helping to ensure that these products are safe, effective, and meet consumer expectations over their intended shelf life.
