XCellR8: XtraMild Mildness Test
As an extension of the company’s animal-free safety and efficacy testing protocols, this skin irritation test method was developed to identify the subtlest differences in ingredient and product mildness, to benchmark products, identify candidate formulations and generate data to substantiate on-pack claims.
Evonik Corp.: SimDerma Platform
As beauty product development cycles are progressively shortened, testing methods alone are insufficient. This platform integrates testing with analysis, to improve productivity. The in vitro multiparametric platform currently includes 23 experiments related to 17 key cosmetic targets. Its AI engine can analyze and correlate results, allowing for benchmark comparison, blend-optimization or screening for claims development.
