Audit.

Every product in our catalogue must pass verifiable physical stability, active titration, and microbiological hurdles before release.

Cosmetic and nutritional wellness formulas frequently suffer from batch degradation, unverified filler ratios, and phase separation. At Zenitto Skin, Product Manager Irina Petrova oversees incoming laboratory certificates and stability logs from our Austin desk. We evaluate six physical formats: capsules, tablets, powders, softgels, topical creams, and specialized vitamin and wellness supplements. If an active ingredient fails HPLC assay or shows particle crystallization after thermal cycling, the lot is rejected.

Classify.

Physical release formats have distinct shelf-life vulnerabilities and manufacturing parameters.

Customers compare products based on active composition, dosage form, packaging volume, capsule count, unit price, and batch promotions. Below is our formal breakdown of the equipment, testing materials, and QA criteria applied to each delivery format across our six catalogue lines.

Calibrate.

Four mandatory laboratory audit gates apply to every SKU before inclusion in our Austin catalogue.

We reject the industry practice of relying on unverified certificates of analysis from brokers. Irina Petrova verifies third-party analytical records for heavy metals, microbiology, active titration, and packaging compatibility.

QA Audit Gate Analytical Methodology Mandatory Threshold Failure Action
1. Active Titration High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC / UPLC) 95.0% to 105.0% of declared concentration Immediate lot rejection; batch destruction notice issued
2. Elemental Impurities ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry) Pb < 2 ppm, As < 1 ppm, Cd < 0.5 ppm, Hg < 0.1 ppm Supplier de-listing; report filed with industry association
3. Microbial Sterility USP 61/62 Aerobic Plate Count & Yeast/Mold Total APC < 100 CFU/g; Zero Candida, E. coli, S. aureus Complete quarantine and re-sterilization prohibition
4. Container Migration Accelerated extractables & leachables GC-MS testing Zero detectable phthalates, BPA, or heavy metals in formula Packaging supplier disqualified

Price.

How quotation figures are calculated across our six catalogue lines.
