Loretta enables cosmetic brands to objectively measure product efficacy through before-and-after studies conducted over both short and long periods, from a few hours to several weeks.
At the core of Loretta’s approach is a patented methodology built on nearly a decade of academic and private research, supported by multiple scientific publications. Using high-speed Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Loretta captures ultra-high-resolution topographical images of skin and hair surfaces at the nanoscale.
The technology delivers exceptional analytical precision, with scan areas of 20 micrometers per side and a resolution of 4 nanometers. This allows detailed visualization of corneocyte topography and hair fiber cuticle structure, revealing subtle changes induced by cosmetic treatments that remain undetectable with conventional techniques.
Beyond imaging, Loretta provides precise, quantitative data powered by proprietary AI algorithms developed in-house. These analyses identify specific biomarkers related to skin barrier function, hydration, aging, and hair damage. At the same time, the high-definition images offer clear and compelling visual evidence, making it easier to communicate product performance.
With the ability to process over 100 samples per week, Loretta combines scientific rigor with high throughput, accelerating product development and claims substantiation.
Non-invasive sampling methods, including gentle tape-stripping for skin and adapted collection techniques for hair fibers, ensure participant comfort while maintaining high-quality biological material.
By integrating patented AFM technology, advanced AI-driven analytics, and unique visual outputs, Loretta sets a new standard in precise, reliable, and impactful skin and hair analysis.
