RESEARCH LABORATORY TO GUARD THE QUALITY OF COSMETIC PRODUCTS AND CONSUMER SAFETY

Iwona Sokolowska, head of the research laboratory of Dermscan Poland, performed a successful lecture during the 7th Congress of the world of the Cosmetics industry – November 2016, in Poland.

This topic, very appreciated by the audience, referred to the research carried out in Dermscan Poland and stressed how important for both producers and consumers is a complexity of research: starting with microbiology, through in vitro, up to in vivo tests.

The main benefits sought by customers: safety and guarantee of high quality of the product: microbiologically clean, non-irritating, non-sensitizing

While producers are looking for:

• simplicity of the tests’ offer (one-stop shop)
• time and capital saving
• guarantee of compliance with European & World standards
• guarantee of the high-quality product
• building consumer knowledge and awareness
• increasing confidence in the producer, credibility and prestige, the possibility of entering international markets.

These all benefits are only possible when we combine:

• microbiological tests: purity tests, identification of microbes, challenge test
• in vitro tests: determination of skin /eye irritation, corrosion, damage, sensitization… on keratinocytes, fibroblasts cells as well as on 3D reconstructed human epidermis, epitheliums or full thickness skin,
• in vivo tests: safety and efficacy assessment on subjects with determined characteristics.
