The skin is the largest human organ and allows our body to have a real barrier between the external and internal environment. The key role of barrier is given by the stratum corneum which is the outermost part of the epidermis and allows to limit the excessive loss of water.

Maintaining correct skin hydration makes it possible to counteract both the mechanisms that induce skin pathologies that affect the correct physiology of this complex organ and the mechanisms that lead to skin aging with the appearance of unsightly factors (wrinkles, loss of elasticity, loss of brightness).

In this sense, aquaporins, a family of membrane channel proteins that allow the transport of water.

Abich – Lifeanalytics offers in vitro tests for evaluating the moisturizing effect of raw materials and cosmetic products by analyzing the expression of markers such as aquaporins, fillagrins and involucrins in three-dimensional models reconstructed in-vitro.

Their highly specialized staff takes care of keeping the R&D phase always active to propose more and more ad hoc tests and optimize those already in place. Contact them to discover their range of tests and get an offer for your product.
