Order-Specific Documentation
Quality & Export Documents
These documents are prepared for individual orders and must be requested when your order is submitted. Requests made after production may not be possible to accommodate.
Batch Certificate of Analysis (COA)
Documents quality control results for a specific manufactured production batch, providing traceability between established specifications and recorded results. Depending on the product, a COA may include:
- Product identification and batch/lot number
- Applicable finished product specifications
- Recorded quality control results
- Microbiological results or testing status
- Batch disposition and authorized release confirmation
COAs are issued once production and required quality control activities are complete.

- Product and formulation identification
- INCI ingredient names
- Available CAS reference numbers
- Supporting ingredient identification information
Additional Documentation & Testing
Optional Technical Services
Some brands need technical evidence beyond our standard documentation. These services are not automatically included with orders and should be requested as early as possible.
A manufacturer-prepared technical review of the referenced stock formulation and its supporting safety evidence, prepared by our R&D and Quality teams. Under MoCRA, every brand must maintain records supporting adequate safety substantiation for its products, including small businesses exempt from product listing. This record is a practical starting point for that file.
Stability summary included. The record includes a summary of the stability testing conditions and results for the formulation, so a separate stability summary is not needed.
May include
- Formula identification, revision, and intended use
- Ingredient suitability and formulation review
- Manufacturing and preservation considerations
- Applicable product specifications
- Accelerated stability testing conditions and results
- Available preservative efficacy (challenge) testing information
- Finished product microbiological testing information
- Known limitations and recommended additional evaluations
Evaluates how your specific finished formulation behaves under controlled conditions over a defined period. Useful when you need testing on your customized formula rather than relying on stock formula stability data.
Evaluations may include
- Appearance, color, and odor changes
- pH and viscosity, where applicable
- Phase separation or physical instability
- Changes under elevated temperature storage
Evaluates how your formulation interacts with a specific container and closure system. Especially relevant for specialty packaging, customer-supplied containers, or specific dispensing systems.
Testing may assess
- Changes in formulation appearance or physical characteristics
- Container or closure deformation and deterioration
- Leakage and dispensing performance
- Visible interaction between product and packaging
Evaluates your specified formulation within your selected packaging under one agreed study protocol, giving a fuller picture of formula performance and packaging interaction while avoiding duplicated testing.
Evaluates how a formulation responds to repeated cycles of low and elevated temperatures. Useful when products may see temperature swings during warehousing, shipping, or distribution.
Testing may examine separation, viscosity changes, appearance, or other signs of physical instability after repeated cycles.
FDA MoCRA
Product Listing Assistance
Facility registration covers our manufacturing site. Product listings are a separate requirement that may apply to your brand's products.
FDA MoCRA Product Listing Assistance
We can assist eligible customers with preparing and submitting cosmetic product listing information through the FDA's MoCRA product listing system. Depending on the information you supply, assistance may include:
- Collecting required product identification information
- Reviewing product category and ingredient declaration information for completeness
- Preparing and electronically submitting the product listing
- Providing available submission confirmation or reference information
Not always. MoCRA includes a small business exemption for brands whose average gross annual U.S. cosmetic sales over the previous three years are under $1,000,000, adjusted for inflation.
Exempt from
- Facility registration
- Product listing
- MoCRA GMP requirements
Still required
- Safety substantiation records
- Serious adverse event reporting
- MoCRA labeling requirements
The exemption does not apply to products that regularly contact the mucous membrane of the eye, products that are injected or intended for internal use, or products intended to alter appearance for more than 24 hours.
Because safety substantiation applies to every brand regardless of size, our Formula Safety Substantiation Record can support your product records whether or not you need to submit a listing.
Third-Party Testing
Testing Coordination
Testing requirements vary based on your product, target market, and the claims you plan to make. Each brand should determine its own testing program. Pravada can coordinate specialized testing through qualified external providers, with pricing and timelines set by the lab, product type, and scope.
Evaluates how effectively a product's preservative system controls specified microorganisms under a defined challenge test protocol. Commonly requested for water-containing formulations.
A controlled human patch study evaluating irritation and sensitization potential under the selected protocol. Results may support certain skin tolerance claims when study design and findings are appropriate.
Depending on the formulation and intended use, services may include:
- Heavy metals analysis
- Ingredient or active content verification
- Specialized microbiological testing
- Impurity or contaminant analysis
Consumer perception and performance studies help evaluate product experience and substantiate appropriately defined cosmetic claims, using questionnaires, instrumental measurements, or professionally conducted assessments. Permissible claims depend on the actual study design and findings.
Semi-Custom Formulations
Documentation for Modified Formulas
Semi-Custom Formula Safety Substantiation Record
Semi-custom formulations are developed by making approved ingredient additions to an established Pravada base formula. Because modifications can change a formula's properties, documentation for the original stock formula does not automatically establish that the modified formula has undergone equivalent testing.
This record documents our technical review of your modified formulation against the existing base formula information.
Review may include
- Identification of the original stock formula
- Added ingredients and applicable concentrations
- Technical rationale for the modifications
- Ingredient suitability and formulation considerations
- Relevance of existing base formula evidence to the modified formula
- Known limitations, testing gaps, and recommendations
Regulatory & Retailer Support
Support as your brand grows
As your brand grows, retailer and international requirements often become more complex. Pravada can assist with specialized documentation using available manufacturing records, supplier information, and existing product data.
Review of available ingredient information against a specified retailer's ingredient policy, including supporting documentation for particular ingredients where available.
Preparation or completion of the manufacturing-related portions of vendor questionnaires, technical specification requests, and supplier qualification forms.
Compiling existing formula, manufacturing, and quality information requested by your international regulatory representative or importer, such as available supplier EU fragrance allergen statements.
