Eurofins Product Testing - Innocuity and Tolerability

The innocuousness and tolerability of a cosmetic product have to be guaranteed by appropriate experiments before the product is put on the market. Experiments on human volunteers can only be done after an extensive study of the product guarantees the absence of excessive risk or irreversible effects on the volunteers.

Eurofins has vast experience in the cosmetics sector and can advise customers on how to devise specific protocols for studies of each product. Eurofins can also carry out in vitro and in vivo studies. These are performed in Switzerland under the supervision of specialised medical staff.

Performed  studies include:

• In vitro studies
  
  
  • Cytotoxicity
  • Mutagenesis
  • Hen’s eggs
• In vivo studies
  
  
  • Patch test
  • Soap chamber test
  • Flex wash test
  • Hand immersion test
  • Comedogenic activity
