About This Test

Face Pack in paste form is a ready-to-use cosmetic preparation designed for topical application on the face to cleanse, refresh, and rejuvenate the skin. As defined under IS 15153:2002, this formulation must meet specific quality and safety standards to ensure it is non-toxic, non-irritant, and effective for routine dermal use.
