On this page you can learn more about the various studies conducted on our products, understanding the objectives and methodologies applied. For details on the specific results of each product, visit the page dedicated to the product you are interested in in the "Products" section.
Stability and Challenge Test
Stability and Challenge Test studies are essential to verify and demonstrate the product's ability to remain unchanged over time. Both are required by law and must always be completed before placing a cosmetic product on the market. Not only have we performed them, but we have also chosen an airless bottle, which prevents contact between the cream and the outside world (air, fingers, palettes, etc.), preventing oxidation and/or contamination of the product, without the use of chemical preservatives that are potentially irritating to the skin.
Dermatologically tested on sensitive skin
The irritating power of a cream can be tested through the Patch Test, a study involving at least 20 volunteers, carried out under the supervision of a doctor. The Patch Test is not required by law, a cosmetic company is not obliged to perform it before placing a cosmetic product on the market. However, not only did we perform it, but we also extended it to a larger number of volunteers (from 20 to 25) and we selected only people with sensitive skin.
Tested Nickel and other heavy metals
Heavy metals are normally present in the environment, therefore it is very common to find them as impurities in a cosmetic product. Some heavy metals, above certain concentrations, can be toxic and trigger allergic reactions, the most known is Nickel (and the famous claim Nickel Tested). However, the law does not oblige cosmetic companies to measure the concentration of heavy metals in cosmetic products. However, we have conducted specific tests for Nickel and 8 other heavy metals.
Effectiveness Tested in Vivo
"Claims" are the capabilities boasted by a cosmetic product, for example "anti-wrinkle". Companies are always obliged to demonstrate their Claims.
We have taken this obligation very seriously, choosing an in Vivo test (usually conducted on 20 volunteers with medical supervision), selecting professional and accredited laboratories, requiring the supervision of a dermatologist and increasing the number of volunteers from 20 to 30, including the volunteer's self-assessment, the doctor's assessment and the measurement through scientific instruments with evidence.
