“This is an important signal to our customers and the cosmetics manufacturing industry at-large that we care deeply about quality and providing best-in-class products,” said Johan Jansen-Storbacka, global personal care industry leader for DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences. “Our customers are required to reach the GMP certification, and we strive to make it easier for them to reach that marker. Not to mention, easier for the end-consumer to feel certain that their personal care products are safe and reliable from bottle to bottle.”
