TRENDING TESTING NEEDS

Benzene is a known carcinogen, and the FDA has been alerting drug manufacturer to the risk of benzene contamination in certain drugs. More recently, has been found in commonly used personal care products. Our role in ensuring the safety and integrity of drug and consumer products in the market has never been more vital.

Element laboratories specializes in detecting impurities and contaminants, including benzene which have been linked to various health risks.

Why Our Testing is Essential

Benzene is a known carcinogen and overexposure has been linked with causing cancer, anemia, immune system damage, leukemia, and excessive bleding. Benzene has been found in consumer products such as deodorants, hairspray, sunscreen, and hand sanitizers. Popular brands were identified recently as having harmful levels of benzene in aerosol products.

Some companies have taken the initiative to recall products with elevated benzene levels, but there’s a notable absence of legislation requiring independent lab testing. This regulatory gap means that products currently on the market might contain hazardous levels of benzene, putting consumers at risk. Our testing services play a vital role in protecting against these dangerous impurities and contaminants.

At our FDA compliant Element Laboratories, we offer comprehensive testing, detection, and analysis for the presence of benzene in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, personal care, consumer products, ingredients, raw materials, and other chemical compounds using well-established methods. Trust us to ensure the safety and integrity of your products.
