In vitro studies
Our capabilities
Cytotoxicity testing
Ensures your products are safe by identifying any toxic effects on cells, protecting consumer health.
Skin sensitisation
Confirms that your products do not cause allergic reactions, providing peace of mind for sensitive skin users (OECD 442D - KeratinoSens® / OECD 442C - DPRA / ECD 442E - h-CLAT, GARD).
Chromosomal aberration
AMES test (OECD 471) & Micronucleus test (OECD 487).
Phototoxicity
Assesses the safety of your products when exposed to light, preventing harmful reactions and ensuring safe use in sunlight.
Genotoxicity
Detects potential genetic damage, ensuring your products do not pose long-term health risks.
Solar studies in vitro
Evaluates the effectiveness of your sun protection products, ensuring they provide reliable defense against UV radiation.
HEV in vitro test
Tests the protection your products offer against high-energy visible (HEV) light, safeguarding skin from digital device exposure.
UPF textile test
Measures the ultraviolet protection factor of textiles, ensuring your fabrics provide adequate sun protection.
Skin and eye irritation and tolerance
Verifies that your products are gentle on the skin and eyes, ensuring comfort and safety for users (OCDE 492).
Why are in vitro studies important?
In vitro studies are crucial for cosmetic and personal care products as they provide a reliable, ethical, and scientifically advanced way to assess product safety and efficacy. Using human cell models and reconstructed tissues, these tests help identify potential skin irritation, phototoxicity, and biological activity. As part of a complementary strategy with in vivo and ex vivo testing, in vitro studies play a key role in regulatory compliance and help ensure that products are both safe and effective for consumers.
