🔬 Understanding the Dynamics of Stability Testing 🔍 Valisure recently announced its detection of benzene in benzoyl peroxide products. We understand this is a complex topic and want to share further information of the importance of stability testing. The purpose of stability studies is not to copy the conditions of an average consumer, rather, the purpose is to ensure the product is safe to use for the entire products lifecycle, from manufacturing through distribution to its expiration date, often a total of 3 years for pharmaceutical products. Products must be stable during this entire time and through all the possible “bumps” along the road. The benzene found in these benzoyl peroxide products is a very different situation from the benzene contamination in sunscreens and other products where the benzene was a raw material contaminant and the amount of benzene "on the shelf" would not change. Even if a product is clean when purchased, it can form high levels of benzene over time, even sitting in a medicine cabinet. This is where the crucial importance of stability studies come in, which are regulatory requirements. Read more about the importance of this testing method via the link here:
