Cosmetic skin tests are used to better understand the effect of a product or active ingredient on the skin. They enable the study of penetration, skin structure, the quality of a surface film, the presence of ingredients, or certain properties useful for supporting a cosmetic claim.
An in vitro test is carried out on a controlled experimental model, whereas an ex vivo test is conducted on biological samples taken from the body and then studied outside the body. On this page, NOVITOM states that it offers in vitro or ex vivo analyses to better understand the interaction between a cosmetic product and the skin.
The analyses can be used to study anti-ageing, moisturising, smoothing, fortifying, anti-pollution and restructuring effects, or the effect of a skincare product on stratum corneum lipids, surface films or sebaceous gland volume.
Various types of samples can be studied, such as isolated stratum corneum, tape-stripping, explants, histological sections or reconstructed skin models. The choice depends on the scientific objective and the type of claim to be substantiated.
Yes, the page explicitly states that the services offered may relate to the penetration of an active ingredient. This type of analysis provides a better understanding of a formulation’s behaviour and offers scientific evidence that is useful for product development and supporting product claims.
Yes, this is one of the page’s key focuses. NOVITOM presents its analyses as a solid analytical foundation to guide formulation, support claims and enhance communication materials for skin care products.
The page highlights three main benefits: rapid and reliable analyses, a bespoke approach with a dedicated technical contact, and clear, actionable results thanks to detailed reports and 3D visuals that facilitate decision-making.
The services mentioned include, in particular, the morphology of skin microstructures, collagen quality, the thickness and homogeneity of surface films, ingredient mapping, the identification of pollutant particles, and the structural and mechanical characterisation of skin layers
