CLIFTON -- November 12, 2026 -- CS Analytical, trading as Raw Material Analytical (RM Analytical), is set to offer cGMP analytical testing for six sunscreen ingredients: avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate, octocrylene, octinoxate and oxybenzone. The New Jersey laboratory says the service will cover both over-the-counter sunscreen drug products and cosmetic and personal care formulations.
All six are organic UV filters that protect across UVA and UVB wavelengths. Manufacturers, formulators and suppliers can use the testing to verify the identity, purity and potency of these raw materials before production. The company says this reduces the risk of batch failures and recalls.
CEO Brian Mulhall says adding the six ingredients helps clients confirm that their materials meet the standards their customers and regulators expect.
RM Analytical extends its raw-material testing to sunscreen filters
The six filters join an existing portfolio covering APIs, excipients, processing aids and finished products. A sunscreen maker can therefore send both the filter raw materials and the finished product to one laboratory. The company describes this as consolidating analytical needs with a single partner.
The release does not say when testing becomes available, and its list of included services (identity, assay, impurity profiling and similar tests) still carries an unresolved editorial placeholder.
