ISO 22716:2007 is the internationally accepted standard for cosmetic GMP, covering production, control, storage and shipment. Our certification was awarded by SGS — one of the world's leading independent testing and certification organisations — and is subject to annual surveillance audits.
Our research programme is formally registered under the Australian Government's R&D Tax Incentive scheme, administered jointly by ATO and AusIndustry. RDTI registration validates that our R&D activities meet the government's criteria for genuine experimental work directed at new knowledge — a strong third-party endorsement of our innovation claims.

ISO 22716:2007 provides a comprehensive framework covering the quality aspects of cosmetic production, storage and dispatch. Here is what our certification means for every product we manufacture for you.
All manufacturing personnel have clearly defined roles, documented responsibilities, and access to relevant GMP training materials. Our founder brings formulation chemistry expertise; our quality function is responsible for batch disposition decisions. No batch is released without authorisation.
Our Ravenhall, VIC facility at 114 Eucumbene Drive is designed and maintained to prevent cross-contamination, facilitate cleaning, and control environmental conditions. Separate areas for raw material receipt, production, quality control, and finished goods storage are maintained.
All raw materials are sourced from qualified suppliers with current Certificates of Analysis. Incoming materials are checked against specification before use. Globally and locally sourced ingredients are subject to the same qualification process. Haliclona sp. spicules are sourced to a minimum purity specification of ≥90%.
Every product manufactured at GlowSense is produced against a GMP-compliant Batch Manufacturing Record (BMR). The BMR specifies ingredients, quantities, equipment settings, process parameters, in-process controls and yield. Deviations are documented and investigated. No batch proceeds without a signed-off BMR.
Each batch is tested for pH, viscosity, appearance, colour, odour and microbial limits before release. OPP batches additionally include spicule distribution uniformity verification. Finished product must meet all specification limits before a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) is issued and the batch released.
Stability testing protocols are established for all formulations — monitoring physical, chemical and microbiological parameters at defined timepoints. Stability data supports label shelf-life claims and satisfies TGA and international regulatory requirements. Accelerated and real-time stability studies conducted per ICH-aligned protocols.
A documented complaint-handling procedure ensures every customer complaint and non-conformance is recorded, investigated and resolved. Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA) are assigned, tracked and closed. Audit trail maintained for all quality events.
ISO 22716 certification is maintained through annual surveillance audits conducted by SGS Australia. Certificate validity is maximum 3 years, with recertification conducted before expiry. Audit reports are available for client review on request under NDA.
GlowSense's ISO 22716 GMP certification enables issuance of the Certificate of GMP Compliance for Cosmetics as required by DAFF (Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry) for export authentication. This documentation is accepted for market entry across the EU, UK, US, and Asian markets.
We support clients with full regulatory documentation packages for target markets, including TGA-aligned Australian documentation, EU Cosmetics Regulation technical dossier components, and NICNAS/AICIS ingredient notification support.
