DermaProof Asia, formerly known as Spincontrol Asia, is an independent dermo-cosmetic Contract Research Organization specializing in efficacy testing and tolerance studies, including patch tests, as well as cutaneous, ocular, and oral compatibility assessments. With over 20 years of experience, DermaProof Asia has established itself as a leading laboratory in the field of cosmetic testing across Asia. We are dedicated to delivering high-quality services and continually pursue excellence through training and innovation. Cosmetic manufacturers expect innovative testing methods that can enhance or even replace traditional techniques, driving the demand for advanced, reliable, and ethical alternatives.
For over 20 years, Transderma Systems – a French company specializing in ex vivo claim substantiation testing – has demonstrated its expertise in validating innovative evaluation methods for skincare and haircare products, thanks to its dedicated team of engineers and researchers.
As a result, both companies have chosen to collaborate by introducing testing methods that remain relatively unfamiliar in the Asian market. One example involves evaluating the repairing or protective effects of hair care products by analyzing the hair cuticle porosity. This method is based on the measurement of the diffusion depth of a fluorescent tracer into hair fibers. Healthy hair typically exhibits low permeability to the tracer, making it an effective indicator of the repairing or protective property of haircare products.
They are confident that the new partnership between DermaProof Asia and Transderma Systems will facilitate access to innovative testing methods for Asian cosmetic manufacturers, leveraging DermaProof Asia’s strong presence in Thailand. Additionally, it will provide cosmetic companies from Europe and other regions the opportunity to evaluate their formulations on Asian subjects under the specific environmental conditions—such as temperature, humidity, and pollution—that are characteristic of a major Southeast Asian city.
