Clinical testing of products and validation of cosmetic claims
Depending on the brand's communication strategy and client requirements, various tests can be conducted to substantiate the efficacy claims made for the product.
If it is communicated that the product is allergen-free and dermatologically tested, it is necessary to conduct an analysis of all known allergens that could be expected in the product, as well as dermatological tolerance tests. Furthermore, if it is claimed that the product has a sun protection factor, this must be proven through appropriate testing. The following tests can also be conducted to prove efficacy: measurement of biochemical parameters such as firmness and elasticity, hydration levels, cellulite intensity, wrinkle intensity, luminosity, and skin pigmentation intensity before and after product use, as well as user satisfaction testing.
