In the cosmetics industry, aluminum oxide functions as an abrasive, absorbent, anti-caking agent, bulking agent and opacifying agent. Aluminum hydroxide acts as a buffering agent, corrosion inhibitor and pH adjuster. The use of these compounds in medical devices and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Aluminum oxide is also a material used in the construction of dental and hip implants. The FDA has determined that aluminum oxide is safe for use in devices that come into contact with soft tissue, bone, and internal organs.
Briefly, aluminum is one of the heavy metals found in both cosmetic products and some industrial products. In advanced laboratories, it is determined how much ppm aluminum contains cosmetic or industrial products. There are limits for the use of some heavy metals in the relevant legal regulations and the related products must be analyzed in this respect. However, a limit has not been determined for aluminum. For this reason, aluminum metal analyzes are made according to special demand. In these analyzes, inductively coupled plasma (ICP) method is used in accordance with international standards. In this method, it is determined whether there is aluminum in the sample tested and if so how many ppm it is.
Our organization, equipped with extensive technological equipment and a trained and experienced staff, applies the most modern methods in its testing and analysis processes, adhering to both national and international standards, as well as current legal regulations . Among the numerous tests conducted within this scope are aluminum (Al) testing services as part of elemental analysis.
