DALTON, GA, UNITED STATES, May 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Southern Chemical & Textiles (SCT), a family-owned American manufacturer of surfactant solutions, has been awarded the EFfCI GMP Certification by DQS Inc., an internationally recognized certification body. The certification confirms that SCT's development and manufacturing of cosmetic ingredients meet the rigorous Good Manufacturing Practice standards set by the European Federation for Cosmetic Ingredients (EFfCI).

What EFfCI GMP Certification Means

The EFfCI GMP Standard is one of the most respected quality benchmarks in the cosmetic ingredients industry. Attaining certification requires a company to undergo a thorough, independent audit that verifies its management systems, manufacturing processes, and quality controls meet the EFfCI's comprehensive guidelines, which are widely recognized by cosmetic manufacturers across Europe and North America. For customers sourcing cosmetic ingredients, the certification provides independent assurance that their supplier operates consistently, with traceability, and to the highest standards of product integrity.

“Achieving EFfCI GMP certification is a significant milestone that reflects our unwavering commitment to excellence at SCT,” said Robert Mauney, Director of Quality and Operational Excellence. “This certification provides our global partners with the absolute assurance that our processes exceed ISO 9001 and meet the world’s most rigorous quality management standards.”

SCT President Cameron Whaley added, “We’re thankful for this recognition as it is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team here at SCT. We’re committed to excellence in all aspects of our business, and this recognition is proof of that pursuit.”
