Metis QA Laboratory

Not all cosmetics and beauty products are created equally. We spend a lot of time testing formulas behind the scenes. If it’s going on your skin, we want to know exactly what it’s doing first!

Amazing what a small sample can tell us. Signs of bacteria? Heavy metals? Pathogens? Companies go through lots of R&D to perfect their products, and that perfection is verified right here in the lab!

This dog doesn’t care what’s on the label.
But YOU should.

We test pet products for heavy metals, pathogens, pesticides, and more. We make sure products are safe for our pets and safe to be sold on shelves.

Our lab verifies safety, consistency, and compliance with pet pet products using a variety of scientific methods and instrumentation.

What's given to pets and what's printed on the label matters!

New changes coming around the corner...

🚨 President Donald Trump’s acting attorney general has signed an order reclassifying state-licensed medical ma*****na as a less-dangerous drug, moving it from Schedule I to Schedule III under federal law.

Officials say the move aligns with efforts to modernize ma*****na policy as most states already operate medical or recreational cannabis programs.

We are testing quite the array of items these days, including all different types of beauty products. From lightweight serums to rich oils, even everyday lotions, these are items people trust on their skin daily. As the beauty industry continues to evolve, we are keeping it honest.

At Metis test a wide range of beauty products, including:
• Serums
• Oils
• Lotions & creams
• Scrubs & exfoliants

What’s interesting is that contamination is one of the biggest issues labs actually find when testing beauty products. Things like heavy metals, microbial growth, or trace pesticides can show up.

So when people talk about “tested products,” it’s not just a buzzword. It’s literally about verifying that what’s on the label matches what’s in the bottle, and that it’s safe to use over time.

Fresh bath. Clean coat. Zero questions about what’s in the products! 🐾 Most people assume pet products are tested like human ones… they’re not.

"Looks good on the label” isn’t enough anymore. For many people, pets are our family, and more people are paying attention to what’s in their pet’s products. That's why we love running samples and analyzing pet products in our lab!

• What’s actually in the formula?
• Is it free from contaminants?
• Has it been independently verified?

That’s where real trust is built - claims backed by SCIENCE.

Also, the dog in the picture belongs to our owner. Isn't he so photogenic?!

Most people assume beauty products are tested before they hit the shelf… but that’s not really how it works. A lot of it is based on trust in the brand, not independent verification. It’s kind of wild when you think about how much we use every day.

We really do test all kinds of stuff, including shampoos and conditioners for pets!

Quick reminder: we don’t make pet products… and we definitely don’t test on animals. What we do is put pet products through real lab testing to make sure they’re actually safe.

We work with various manufacturers of pet products to test for safety and quality. We've tested grooming products like shampoos and conditioners, supplements, treats, balms, and more.

Our pets deserve safe products just like people! 🐾
