Stability testing explained

What is the difference between accelerated and real-time stability testing?

Accelerated stability testing exposes a product to elevated temperature and humidity — typically 40 °C / 75% RH — to speed up degradation and predict long-term shelf life in weeks rather than years. Real-time testing stores samples at intended conditions (25 °C / 60% RH) for the full intended shelf-life period. Accelerated data lets you go to market faster; real-time data confirms those predictions. Most AJ Cosmo Labs partner labs offer both study types.
