Skincare Testing Services

Our expertise in skin care testing

• Skin tolerance and sensitization

  Ensure products are safe, gentle and suitable for daily use through standardized dermatological assessments to identify irritation and sensitization potential, supporting claims such as hypoallergenic, dermatologist-tested and suitable for sensitive skin, while helping you navigate regulatory requirements.

• Skin moisturization
  Substantiate skin hydration benefits with SGS’s cutting-edge moisturization assessments, including capacitance imaging, confocal Raman microspectroscopy and corneometry, among other advanced biophysical techniques. We quantify both immediate and long-term effects, enabling claims for improved hydration, skin comfort and lasting softness.
• Skin barrier protection and repair
  Demonstrate protective and reparative effects of products on the skin barrier function with tests that measure inside-out and outside-in barrier integrity using traditional and advanced methods to substantiate barrier repair, protection and strengthening claims.
• Skin aging and longevity
  Support anti-aging claims through non-invasive microscopy, 2D and 3D imaging, biophysical assessments and biomarker analysis to quantify improvements in wrinkles, firmness and elasticity to demonstrate skin longevity and youthfulness.
• Skin pigmentation
  Evaluate brightening, tone-evening and anti-dark-spot effects using colorimetry, hyperspectral imaging and high‑precision digital analysis to substantiate claims for a more radiant, uniform and luminous complexion.
• Skin microbiome
  Confirm microbiome-friendly and microbiome-support properties through studies of microbial diversity, balance and ecological shifts. Our expertise helps brands demonstrate compatibility with healthy skin flora.
• Wound healing
  Provide compelling evidence of accelerated skin repair and regeneration through controlled wound healing studies designed to quantify restoration speed, epidermal recovery and skin integrity outcomes.
• Babies’ skin
  Confirm gentleness and protection with safety and efficacy testing for even the most sensitive skin.
