Clinical Testing of Hair Growth Cosmetic Serums
The clinical testing of hair growth cosmetic serums is a critical process aimed at ensuring that products are both effective and safe for consumers. This service involves rigorous evaluation under controlled conditions to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of hair growth serums in cosmetics.
Our laboratory specializes in providing comprehensive services tailored to quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers, and procurement teams involved in the development and regulation of cosmetic products. We adhere strictly to international standards such as ISO 21778:2019, which outlines guidelines for hair growth serum testing.
The process begins with meticulous formulation of the serums and their application according to standardized protocols. The test subjects undergo a series of evaluations that include skin irritation tests, patch tests, and subjective assessments by dermatologists. These steps are crucial in determining whether the product can be safely marketed without causing adverse effects.
In addition to safety assessments, clinical trials also measure the actual growth potential of hair serums. This involves monitoring changes in hair thickness, length, density, and overall health over predetermined periods. The results provide valuable insights into the efficacy claims made by manufacturers, helping them align their product offerings with consumer expectations.
Our state-of-the-art facilities utilize advanced technology such as laser Doppler imaging systems for precise measurement of hair growth rates. These devices offer non-invasive ways to track hair follicle activity and provide objective data that supports the claims made about a serum's ability to stimulate hair regrowth.
The importance of this testing cannot be overstated, especially considering the increasing demand for natural and organic treatments in the cosmetic industry. By adhering strictly to regulatory requirements like those set forth by the European Union Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, we ensure that all tests conducted meet high standards of accuracy and reliability.
