Evaluate the moisturizing power of your active ingredient
The superficial layer of epidermis, the stratum corneum (SC), protects human body from external stress including dehydration.
Many mechanisms involved in epidermal barrier maintaining, contribute to the state of hydration balance: natural moisturizing factors (NMF), glycerol produced by aquaporin and the specific organization of the SC with corneocytes, the stratum corneum and the lipids are crucial in the hydration balance.
The development of more effective moisturizing active ingredients is crucial to fit with consumers’ needs.
HydraGEN allows you to evaluate the moisturizing potential of your active ingredient using various innovative and robust techniques.
HydraGEN methods
The expression of the Filaggrin protein is decreased under dehydration stress conditions. The active protects/restores the stratum corneum.
HydraGEN is a highly efficient model thanks to the presence of the different skin constituents.
Physiologically closer to in vivo conditions and increase efficiency due to the presence of the different skin constituents.
From a wide range of techniques, we will precisely assess the effect of your active ingredient.
Cost effective adapted only to the techniques you’ll need.
Accurate results delivered in about 3 months.
