U-Skin™: sweat, sebum, and tear resistance testing

U-Skin™ technology mimics the excretion of sweat, sebum, and tears, providing accurate insights into how products perform under real-world conditions.

Claims Supported:

  • Long-lasting / Sweat-proof: Validate that your makeup, such as foundation and powder, withstands sweat throughout the day.
  • Sebum resistance / Anti-shine: Demonstrate that your products effectively manage oil production, reducing shine for a matte finish.
  • Enhanced wear: Prove that your formulations improve and extend wear time, ensuring makeup stays in place longer.

Applications:

  • Foundations, powders, and other makeup products or ingredients.
  • Skincare items targeting oily or combination skin.
  • Sun care and hair care products for their functional properties

T-Skin™: barrier function and hydration assessment

T-Skin™: barrier function and hydration assessment

T-Skin™ simulates the skin’s barrier functions, including transepidermal water loss (TEWL), to evaluate the protective and hydrating effects of skincare products.

Claims Supported:

  • Hydration / Moisturizing: Validate that your products maintain or enhance skin hydration by reducing TEWL.
  • Barrier Reinforcement: Demonstrate that formulations reinforce the skin’s natural barrier.
  • Film-forming / Occlusive Properties: Prove the formation of a protective film that locks in moisture and prevents water loss.

Applications:

  • Moisturizers, creams, and lotions.

  • Barrier creams and film-forming products.

  • Sunscreens and other protective skincare items.

Smart-Pore™: antiperspirant efficacy testing

Smart-Pore™: antiperspirant efficacy testing

Smart-Pore™ offers a robust solution for testing antiperspirant products by simulating human sweat ducts, measuring clog formation and burst pressure to assess product performance.

Claims Supported:

  • Sweat Reduction: Accurately quantify the effectiveness of antiperspirants in reducing perspiration.
  • Long-lasting / 24-Hour Protection: Prove that your antiperspirant offers sustained efficacy over time.

Applications:

  • Roll-on, spray, stick, and cream antiperspirants.
