Photoallergy | Photosensitization

The potential of cosmetic and personal care products to cause adverse skin reactions under light exposure is carefully evaluated through photoallergy and photosensitization studies. These assessments determine whether a formulation may trigger irritation, allergic responses, or sensitivity when exposed to UV or visible light. All studies are performed in controlled clinical environments and in strict accordance with BIS, COLIPA (Cosmetics Europe), and international regulatory standards. The outcomes provide robust scientific evidence to ensure product safety, strengthen consumer protection, and support global compliance requirements.

Direct Eye Instillation | Eye Sting

Ocular tolerance is a critical parameter in the safety evaluation of cosmetic and personal care products that may come into contact with the eyes. Direct Eye Instillation studies are designed to systematically assess the potential of formulations to induce stinging, irritation, or discomfort. These evaluations are particularly relevant for eye-targeted and face-related products, including eye creams, eyeliners, mascaras, makeup removers, facial cleansers, and shampoos.

Non-Comedogenicity

Non-comedogenicity testing plays a vital role in assessing whether cosmetic and skincare products may block pores or contribute to the formation of comedones (blackheads and whiteheads). This evaluation is especially critical for formulations developed for acne-prone or sensitive skin, such as moisturizers, sunscreens, foundations, and facial oils. Studies evaluations are conducted by trained dermatologists through clinical grading and bio-instrumental measurements.

Non-Acnegencity

We conduct non-acnegenic studies to evaluate skin condition pre- and post-product application over a one-month period. Expert evaluators quantify acne lesions, including papules and pustules, across the forehead, cheeks, and chin. These assessments provide robust, evidence-based data to confirm formulation safety for acne-prone skin, supporting product development and regulatory compliance.
