Personal Care Products Council Requests Public Comments on the Revised Microbiology Guideline “Determination of Preservation Efficacy in Water- Miscible Personal Care Products


The Personal Care Products Council (the Council) is requesting public comments by October 3, 2013 on the revised Microbiology Guideline “Determination of Preservation Efficacy in Water-Miscible Personal Care Products.”

The Council’s Microbiology Guidelines are intended to provide manufacturers with guidance regarding establishing and maintaining microbiological quality programs within their companies.  These Guidelines are also recommended for contract packagers and suppliers of raw materials.

Each Guideline undergoes an extensive development and review process by the Council’s technical committees and scientific staff, as well as public review by member companies, nonmember companies, federal government agencies, and scientific professional societies.

An electronic copy of the draft guideline is available online. Comments should be submitted by email to John Krowka, Senior Microbiologist, [email protected].
