The safety and effectiveness of cosmetic products are scientifically proven through dermatological testing. These tests assess whether products cause any skin irritation, allergic reactions, or adverse effects. Dermatological testing, conducted on various skin types, aims to increase user safety and ensure that products comply with international standards.
Dermatological analysis for cosmetic products is a set of scientific tests performed to evaluate a product's interaction with the skin. The primary purpose of these analyses is to determine whether the product causes allergic reactions, irritation, or other adverse effects.
A cosmetic dermatological analysis has many purposes. These purposes can be generally explained as follows.
The primary purpose of dermatological analyses is to determine whether cosmetic products cause any harm when they come into contact with human skin. These tests scientifically assess whether products cause undesirable effects such as irritation, redness, burning, or allergic reactions. Skin sensitivity measurements and skin compatibility tests contribute significantly to this goal.
Many cosmetic products contain various chemical ingredients. Dermatological analyses reveal whether these ingredients are allergic or irritating to the skin. These tests allow us to identify and remove from formulations any ingredients that are unsuitable for people with sensitive skin. Irritation test is one of the tests performed to achieve this goal.
Every individual's skin type is different; dry, oily, combination, or sensitive skin can react differently to cosmetic products. Dermatological analyses are used to observe the effects of products on different skin types. This helps clarify who the product is suitable for and who should use it with caution. Skin type compatibility test is one of the steps taken to determine body suitability.
The reliability of cosmetic brands is directly related to whether their products have undergone scientific testing. Products that have undergone dermatological analysis and yielded positive results provide consumers with the confidence that they have been "scientifically tested." This enhances the brand's prestige and helps users make informed product choices. Furthermore, these tests increase the brand's market share. Considering that customer satisfaction is the most important form of advertising, the most effective and cost-effective advertising offers a significant advantage.
In many countries, especially the European Union, it is a legal requirement for cosmetic products to undergo certain safety tests before they are placed on the market. Dermatological analyses have an important role in ensuring compliance with these regulations and meeting ethical production standards.
Dermatological analyses are scientific processes, so they must be performed within a specific discipline. The steps of dermatological procedures are as follows:
As a sanitary dermatological analysis laboratory, we perform the following dermatological analyses in the most reliable and professional way.
This analysis is performed to pre-determine the effects of diaper use on babies' skin. The diaper analysis is completed within a very short time, and the results are reported to you in a report.
Following this analysis, the label "dermatologically tested" may be added to the packaging. This statement is mandatory. Our analysis also determines whether the product in question causes an allergic reaction.
One of the tests we perform in our state-of-the-art laboratory is the sanitary pad analysis. Our expert team completes the analysis quickly, and the results are reported.
This is a laboratory test to assess whether a substance has a toxic effect on skin cells when exposed to light. This test typically uses human cell cultures to examine the interaction of the tested substance with the ultraviolet (UV) components of sunlight. This non-animal method is preferred for ethical and scientific reasons, particularly when assessing the safety of topical products. This test plays a critical role in ensuring the safety of products before they are released to market because phototoxic reactions can manifest as symptoms such as skin redness, burning, or blistering.
In vitro corrosion testing is an alternative laboratory test method used to assess the corrosive effects of chemical substances on the skin. This test typically uses artificial human skin models to analyze whether the tested substance damages skin cells and how quickly this effect occurs. In vitro corrosion testing plays a crucial role in determining the suitability of products for human health by determining the substance's potential to cause severe irritation or tissue damage upon skin contact.
An in vitro eye irritation test can determine whether any reaction occurs in the eye when chemicals used in the production of cosmetics or personal care products come into contact with the anterior segment of the eye. In vitro eye irritation testing, which detects an allergic reaction such as itching, edema, or pain in the eye, can also help determine the extent of reversible damage.
An in vitro irritation test is a laboratory-based test method performed without the use of animals to assess the potential for a substance to cause skin irritation. This test typically uses artificial human skin models (e.g., EpiDerm or SkinEthic) to measure the effect of the tested substance on cell viability. A significant loss of cell viability indicates that the substance is an irritant.
A cytotoxicity test is a basic biological test performed in a laboratory environment to evaluate the toxic (harmful) effects of a substance on cells. This test measures whether the tested substance reduces cell viability and determines whether it causes cell death. Cell viability is typically analyzed using colorimetric methods such as MTT, LDH, or Neutral Red. Cytotoxicity tests, widely used in medicine, biomedical research, and pharmaceutical and medical device development, help predict product safety.
