Claims / Bioinstrumentation
Our laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art technologies that measure a variety of human skin attributes (i.e. color, hydration, firmness, etc.). Pairing instrumental data with expert clinical grading and consumer feedback provides a 360 degree approach to support a variety of claims for cosmetics and personal care products.
Photobiology
SPF (UVB) and UVA label claims are a critical component of sunscreen and other consumer products. CRL is equipped with the newest solar simulators and the proper facilities to provide static, water-resistant, and very water resistant SPF tests following the approved FDA Monograph and International methods. In addition, CRL can provide Phototoxicity and Photoallergy testing for all of these consumer product categories.
Microbiology
Microbiology is broken down into two main categories, classical and antimicrobial. Preservative efficacy testing is the main classical test performed to ensure that the product has enough preservative to protect it during the life of the product while in the consumer’s hands. Antimicrobial claims are a set of FDA monograph requirements used to support categories from surgical scrubs through antimicrobial hand washes and are customized to meet the requirements for each individual product tested.
Cosmetology
Our full service salon and staff of cosmetologists can provide hair, nail, facial, and ethnic products evaluations. In addition, our staff of cosmetologists and estheticians will professionally apply test materials ensuring that they are uniformly applied for consistent clinical grading.
Pediatrics
Pediatrics safety-in-use testing requires specific panels of subjects ranging from six months to twelve years old. CRL can provide the subjects in their proper age group, as well as the Pediatrician and clinical staff with the knowledge to evaluate a wide range of products intended for use on children.
Consumer Research
CRL is proud to announce the addition of our Consumer Perception and Focus Room capabilities. Our 20’ by 14’ viewing room comfortably seats up to 25 subjects and it is equipped with state of the art equipment for quick, accurate, and flexible real time data capture.
