Services
Four study areas — safety, functionality, efficacy and in-vitro. Test items are combined to fit your target claim.
In-vitro Testing
Alternative-to-animal testing on cell and tissue models to assess safety and efficacy, alongside physicochemical and microbiological quality evaluation.
Test items
Ocular irritation test using a reconstructed human corneal epithelium model (MCTT HCE).
Cytotoxicity test, intracellular collagen synthesis test, intracellular elastin synthesis test.
DPPH / ABTS radical-scavenging assay, cell-based Comet and DCF-DA assays.
Advanced glycation end-product (AGE) formation inhibition assay.
Cytotoxicity test, intracellular melanin synthesis and tyrosinase inhibition test, mushroom tyrosinase inhibition test.
Cytotoxicity test, intracellular hyaluronic acid synthesis test, moisture-related gene expression test.
Cytotoxicity test, intracellular nitric oxide inhibition test, cell-based inflammatory gene expression inhibition test.
Test method for assessing the efficacy and toxicity of foods and cosmetics without animal testing.
Physicochemical evaluation including appearance, pH and conductivity.
Total aerobic count, bacteria/fungi count, and absence of E. coli / P. aeruginosa / S. aureus per cosmetics safety standards.
Rinse quantification method (amino acid detection) in wash-off solution.
Gluten-free evaluation per the Korean Food Code.
Standards & approvals
No human subjects are involved, so IRB review does not apply. Microbiological items follow the cosmetics distribution safety standards and gluten-free testing follows the Korean Food Code.
