Functionality assessment
Implement validation test by the latest life science and dermatology.
Functionality Assessment Division implements a various validation test to offer products with scientific bases (Evidence Based Cosmetics – EBC).
Tests include, level of cell such as 3-dimensional cultured skin model (reproduced of human's cell and skin) and also observation of actual use by person.
From these tests we collect all the data to back up the functionality which show whether products fit the concept and the characteristic of formulations. Our goal is to create added-value products so that you can acquire satisfaction when using.
- 'In vitro' test
-
- Cell activating test at human corium fibroblast / Human Epidermal Keratinocyte Cell
