KYC – Know Your Certifications: Why GMP, ISO 9001, and ISO 22716 Matter
For brands in the personal care, skincare, or sexual wellness industries, certifications aren’t just for regulatory compliance — they’re a signal of trust and professionalism. At Cosmetech, we operate under globally recognised standards that ensure safety, traceability, and consistent product quality. Here’s why GMP, ISO 9001, and ISO 22716 are non-negotiable.
GMP – Good Manufacturing Practice
GMP provides the foundation for product safety and consistency. It governs every aspect of the manufacturing process — from raw material sourcing to equipment hygiene and packaging integrity. For customers, it’s reassurance that every product was made with care. For brands, it’s the baseline of professional manufacturing.
Why it matters:
- Minimises contamination and error
- Creates a documented, traceable production chain
- Builds trust with both regulators and consumers
ISO 9001 – Operational Excellence
ISO 9001 is a quality management standard that applies to all industries. It ensures that systems are in place to deliver continuous improvement, customer satisfaction, and process control. At Cosmetech, it helps us not just deliver great products — but continually raise the bar.
Why it matters:
- Encourages consistency and accountability
- Optimises processes across departments
- Demonstrates a commitment to quality culture
ISO 22716 – Cosmetics-Specific GMP
ISO 22716 goes one step further, applying GMP principles specifically to cosmetic production. It addresses everything from ingredient handling to storage conditions, ensuring that beauty and personal care products meet the most stringent global standards.
Why it matters:
- Required in many global markets
- Reduces risk of product recalls or contamination
- Aligns with consumer expectations in premium and wellness categories
