These are all excellent questions and if you are asking any of them, a stability study may be exactly what you need.
Stability studies are designed to show how a final-packaged product ages. Over the course of the study, the product is checked to see if anything important or substantial is changing. This might be as simple as – has the colour changed? It can be as specific and technical as – is the active ingredient breaking down over time and how quickly is it changing? It also can include important testing elements to monitor microbial contamination that will impact the quality of the product for the end user.
