Support your product claims with scientifically validated efficacy testing. Our human cell-based models generate credible data to substantiate marketing claims and differentiate your products in the marketplace.
Today’s consumers are savvy and skeptical. Product claims need to be backed by solid science. Our efficacy tests provide the evidence you need to confidently make claims about product benefits, from mildness and gentleness to specific functional properties like antioxidant activity or collagen support.
Using human cell-based models ensures your data is relevant to actual human biology, making your claims more credible and defensible.
Demonstrate your product’s gentle nature with quantifiable data. This test measures irritation potential at a sensitive level, allowing you to rank mildness and confidently claim superior gentleness compared to competitors or industry standards.
Using an adaptation of a regulatory skin irritation test, we can detect subtle differences between mild and ultra-mild formulations. The test was validated directly against human volunteer patch tests, providing you with credible scientific data to support mildness claims.
Ideal for: Products marketed as “gentle,” “mild,” “suitable for sensitive skin,” baby care products, and formulations requiring pre-screening before clinical studies
Support “no tears” and gentle formulation claims with our eye mildness test. Using the ET50 method with reconstructed human corneal epithelium, we can assess eye irritation potential and provide an in-depth classification of mildness.
This test is particularly valuable for products that may come into contact with the eyes, allowing you to demonstrate superior gentleness and support claims like “ophthalmologically tested” or “suitable for sensitive eyes.”
Ideal for: Baby shampoos, eye creams, facial cleansers, sun care products, and any formulation where eye contact is possible
Evaluate the effects of your ingredients or formulations on skin pigmentation using MelanoDermâ„¢ reconstructed skin models. These models contain human keratinocytes and melanocytes working together to closely model human skin pigmentation physiology.
The test provides both qualitative (photographic) and quantitative (melanin extraction and spectrophotometry) assessment of pigmentation changes, allowing you to support claims for skin brightening, lightening, evening skin tone, or protecting against hyperpigmentation.
Ideal for: Products claiming to brighten skin, reduce dark spots, even skin tone, or prevent hyperpigmentation. Models available from donors of different ethnic origins for enhanced relevance
Provide evidence that your product stimulates collagen production in human dermal fibroblasts. Using the Sircol colorimetric method, we measure soluble collagen release to demonstrate dose-dependent collagen-boosting potential.
This test provides robust in vitro data to support clinical findings and build comprehensive claim packages, helping you differentiate your products in the competitive anti-aging market.
Ideal for: Products claiming anti-wrinkle, anti-aging, healthy aging, collagen boosting, or improved skin texture benefits
Demonstrate your product’s protective properties with comprehensive antioxidant testing. The OxiSelectâ„¢ method exposes human skin cells (epidermal keratinocytes) to your active ingredients to measure their ability to neutralize reactive oxygen species (ROS) and protect cells from oxidative stress.
ROS damage cellular components including DNA, proteins and lipids, contributing to inflammation and aging. This test helps you show how your formulation can enhance the skin’s natural protective mechanisms.
Can be used to support claims for:
Ideal for: Serums, creams, and treatments marketed for environmental protection or cellular defense
We frequently develop bespoke adaptations of efficacy tests to support unique product claims. Whether you need a custom endpoint, specific formulation conditions, or a novel test design, our scientists can help.
