Eurofins Product Testing - Efficiency Studies

The concept of the quality of a cosmetic includes different aspects: the product’s safety and harmlessness, its stability, functionality and efficiency. In evaluating the efficiency of a cosmetic product, Eurofins relies on its specialised technical personnel. These highly qualified technicians provide clients with assessments of the definition of specific protocols to verify and/or determine a product’s performance in conditions simulating its real conditions of use. These studies are carried out on panels of volunteers opportunely selected and trained for them.

Subjective evaluations are supplemented with objective data from measuring devices.

The efficiency studies performed by Eurofins include:

• In vitro and in vivo determination of the antibacterial and deodorising efficiency of deodorants
• Determination of the solar protection factor
• Determination of moisturizing capacity
• Determination of anti-wrinkling efficacy
• Determination of anti-cellulite efficacy
• Determination of power to control sebaceous excretions
• Determination of anti-dandruff activity
• Determination of anti-baldness efficiency
