About Our ISO 22716 Certification
When you purchase professional skincare, haircare, or body care in bulk, the formula itself is only part of the equation. How that formula is manufactured, tested, documented, and handled matters too.
Pravada is proud to maintain ISO 22716 Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) certification, reflecting the quality systems we use throughout our cosmetic manufacturing operations.
For Pravada Beauty Labs customers, that means the professional formulas you purchase are produced within a structured manufacturing environment designed around quality, consistency, safety, and traceability.
What Is ISO 22716?
ISO 22716 is an internationally recognized standard that provides Good Manufacturing Practice guidelines specifically for the cosmetics industry.
The standard addresses key areas of cosmetic production, including manufacturing processes, personnel, facilities, equipment, raw materials, packaging materials, quality control, storage, documentation, complaints, recalls, and other operational procedures.
Rather than focusing on a single finished product, ISO 22716 addresses the systems behind how cosmetic products are consistently manufactured and controlled.
Why Does ISO 22716 Matter When Buying Bulk Beauty Products?
Whether you are purchasing a 32 oz container for professional back-bar use or larger quantities for your business, you are relying on the manufacturer behind that product.
For spas, estheticians, salons, beauty professionals, and businesses purchasing bulk formulas, manufacturing standards can provide important insight into how seriously a supplier approaches quality.
ISO 22716 establishes guidelines for processes designed to help minimize contamination, mix-ups, inconsistencies, and other manufacturing risks.
At Pravada, quality is integrated throughout the manufacturing process, from the qualification of incoming raw materials through production and final batch release.
Quality Control Throughout Production
Our quality control process follows GMP standards and ISO 22716 guidelines, with controls incorporated at multiple points throughout manufacturing.
Raw Material & In-Process Checks
Incoming raw materials are inspected and verified before production. During manufacturing, in-process checks help maintain batch accuracy, consistency, and adherence to established specifications.
Finished Product Testing
Finished batches undergo quality testing, including microbial testing, to confirm that they meet applicable quality and safety specifications.
We also conduct stability testing on formulations to evaluate product integrity, shelf life, and performance over time under various conditions.
Documentation & Traceability
Documentation is another important component of GMP manufacturing. Our quality team maintains detailed production and quality records to support batch traceability and consistent manufacturing practices.
These systems matter whether a formula ultimately ends up in a treatment room, on a retail shelf, or incorporated into a larger beauty business.
The Same Manufacturing Standards Behind Pravada Beauty Labs
Pravada Beauty Labs gives beauty professionals access to our professional formulas in bulk quantities, from 32 oz containers to 55-gallon drums.
While Beauty Labs makes these formulas accessible in the quantities that different businesses need, the manufacturing standards behind them remain a critical part of what you are purchasing.
Our ISO 22716 certification reflects the systems and procedures in place throughout our manufacturing operations. It is one more way we provide transparency into not just what you are buying, but how it is made.
Look Beyond the Ingredient List
Ingredients, texture, performance, and price are all important when evaluating a professional beauty formula. Manufacturing practices deserve a place in that evaluation as well.
Knowing that your products come from an ISO 22716 GMP-certified cosmetic manufacturer gives you additional information about the quality systems behind the formulas you use in your business.
At Pravada Beauty Labs, professional-grade formulas are backed by the manufacturing infrastructure, quality controls, testing, and documentation of an experienced U.S. cosmetic manufacturer.
