Testing Scope

About This Test

Pomades and Brilliantine are traditional hair grooming products formulated to style, smooth, and add shine to the hair. As per IS 9339, these products must meet specific safety and quality criteria to ensure they are non-toxic, stable, and safe for regular use on the scalp and hair.

Pomades are semi-solid or waxy preparations that offer medium to strong hold and shine, ideal for styling and taming unruly hair.
Brilliantine is a light, oily formulation used primarily to impart a glossy finish, manage frizz, and condition the hair.

Both products may be perfumed and are widely used by men and women for classic, polished looks.

Why It Matters

Purpose of Testing

The purpose of testing Pomades and Brilliantine under IS 9339 is to ensure that these hair grooming products are safe, non-toxic, and effective for regular use on the scalp and hair. Given their frequent dermal application and prolonged contact, the testing safeguards both consumer health and product quality. The testing is carried out to meet the following objectives:

🔹 1. Ensure Dermal Safety

To verify that the product is non-irritant and safe for application on the scalp and hair, especially with daily or frequent use.

🔹 2. Check for Heavy Metal Contamination

To confirm that the product is free from toxic elements like lead, mercury, and arsenic, which may cause long-term health risks or allergic reactions.

🔹 3. Evaluate Microbiological Safety
