Social Impact
The FCM Indicator represents a major step forward in the field of beauty product safety. By providing real-time detection of harmful mold and fungus, the indicator ensures that consumers are protected from potential health risks associated with contaminated products. It serves as a warning system for consumers and provides manufacturers with important information that can be used to improve the quality assurance processes in the production and storage of beauty products. With the adoption of the FCM Indicator, the beauty industry can demonstrate its commitment to the health and safety of its customers while also protecting its reputation and building trust in the products it sells. The social impact of this technology is clear: it has the power to transform the beauty industry, making it safer and more trustworthy for consumers everywhere.
Shelf life means the anticipated amount of time that an unopened beauty product, when stored under appropriate conditions, will retain its:
-
freshness
-
scent
-
Any other qualities claimed by the manufacturer
Still, expiration dates do not guarantee product safety. Consumers cannot rely on these dates while using their product because the dates only reflect how long the product will maintain its characteristics if everything went perfectly during manufacturing and the storage conditions adhere precisely to the conditions recreated within the lab when the expiration date was established.
Our solution allows Canadian consumers to go beyond the date that appears on the product and allows monitoring of the product’s safety in real time on an ongoing basis.
