Located in Bangkok, Thailand, and ISO 9001:2015 certified, DermaProof Asia’s mission is to help cosmetic manufacturers in confidently proving the efficacy and the cutaneous, ocular, and oral compatibility of their products through both standard and innovative methodologies, including instrumental, photographic, clinical, and self-evaluation approaches. Since 2003, DermaProof Asia has carried out close to 2,500 studies for over 300 international clients, assessing more than 4,500 products, powered by a panel of 14,000 active adult Asian volunteers. We are dedicated to delivering high-quality, customized services complying with cosmetic industry regulations and Good Clinical Practice (GCP) standards. With extensive expertise in claim substantiation for skincare, haircare, oral care, makeup, and nutraceutical products with cosmetic benefits, we strive to lead dermo-cosmetic testing excellence in Asia. Driven by our clients’ ever-evolving needs, we are proud to open a new chapter in our journey: the launch of our Microbiome Testing Service. As the microbiome emerges as one of the most fascinating and promising fields in cosmetic science and dermatology, this new service reflects our commitment to staying at the forefront of research and efficacy testing. To bring this vision to life, we have partnered with the Omics Sciences and Bioinformatics Center, Faculty of Science, Chulalongkorn University — Thailand’s top-ranked university according to the latest Times Higher Education World Ranking — and AL-DNA, a biotech startup from Chulalongkorn University specializing in genetic testing innovation. Thanks to the expertise of Omics researchers and AL-DNA, the exploration of the microbial diversity of the skin and scalp of Asian subjects will be available at the beginning of 2026.
The symbiotic relationship between human cells and the microorganisms inhabiting the body is now recognized as essential to overall and skin health. Imbalances in this microbiome can contribute to conditions such as acne, atopic dermatitis, and dandruff — the latter often associated with Malassezia species. Our initial study protocols will focus on evaluating anti-dandruff treatments and verifying “microbiome-friendly” claims — and we warmly welcome your specific research questions and collaboration ideas.
