Loretta is transforming the way skin and cosmetic product performance are evaluated, thanks to a unique scientific approach that combines dermatological expertise with cutting-edge Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM).
At the heart of Loretta’s method is AFM-based surface topography analysis. This technology generates ultra-high-resolution 3D images of the skin’s outermost cells, revealing nanoscale structural changes that are invisible to conventional techniques. By mapping the micro-relief of corneocytes, Loretta delivers objective, quantitative data on key parameters such as barrier function, hydration levels, and signs of skin aging.
What truly sets Loretta apart is speed. With the ability to analyze over 100 samples per week, the company enables cosmetic brands to accelerate product development without compromising scientific rigor.
Loretta has built strong expertise in dermatology and, above all, in efficacy testing for cosmetic products. Its protocols are designed to work with all skin tones, from Fitzpatrick phototype I to VI, ensuring consistent precision and inclusivity across studies.
Sample collection is entirely non-invasive, using gentle tape-stripping to harvest corneocytes from the skin surface. This approach guarantees both participant comfort and high-quality biological material. Beyond corneocytes, Loretta’s platform also supports the analysis of hair fibers and skin explants, opening the door to a wide range of applications in dermo-cosmetics and biomedical research.
By combining AFM imaging, quantitative biomarkers, and high-throughput capacity, Loretta delivers a new standard in objective, reliable, and inclusive skin science.
