A clinical testing institute built on data
GSC Anti-Aging Lab designs and conducts human application trials for cosmetics, quasi-drugs and aesthetic medical devices — from protocol design through IRB review to the final report.
Testing, inspection and certification in one place
A TIC (Testing, Inspection, Certification) institute backed by an accredited IRB, delivering data you can submit with confidence.
Safety, functionality, efficacy and in-vitro evaluations across skin, hair and scalp endpoints.
From first consultation to final report — the eight steps of a study at GSC Anti-Aging Lab.
What we test
Regulatory requirements are reviewed with you while the study is being designed, so the result is usable in your marketing.
- COSMETICS
Cosmetics human application trials
Wrinkle, whitening, moisturising and low-irritation claims — we produce the efficacy and safety evidence behind them.
- SUN CARE
Sunscreen (SPF · PA)
SPF and PA determination plus water-resistance testing.
- QUASI-DRUG
Quasi-drugs and oral care
Breath improvement, tooth whitening, and scalp and hair condition endpoints.

- IN-VITRO
In-vitro testing
Efficacy and safety assessed in cell and tissue models.
Why teams come back
- Evidence
Marketing-ready reports
Reports are issued in a format you can submit as substantiation for label and advertising claims.
- Design
Fewer repeat trials
Regulatory requirements and measurement endpoints are fixed at the design stage, which cuts the risk of having to run the study again.
- Export
Testing through to certification
Working with Global Standard Certification, study results carry straight into certification and export registration documents.
- Dedicated
Researchers, start to finish
The same researchers handle your study from quotation to report, so you never have to explain the product twice.

One team for testing, inspection and certification
We check the regulation first
Test items are mapped to label and advertising review criteria while the study is still being designed, which lowers the risk of a repeat study.
We run our own subject pool
Participants are registered by age band and skin type, so recruitment is not your problem to solve.
Testing and certification together
Through Global Standard Certification, results carry through to certification and export paperwork.
- In-vitro · human application
- IRB liaison
- ISO certification audits
- Export documentation
- OEM/ODM collaboration
