 What We Do
Our mission is to test products so that you, as the consumer can feel confident that when you buy a product it will be safe to use and will perform as advertised.

Our research studies include the following:

Patch testing for allergic reactions.  These studies usually have 15 visits of a few minutes and are spread out over a period of six weeks. Age requirement is 18 years and older; no particular skin type needed.
Sunscreen Testing.  Studies testing a product for its Sun Protection Factor (SPF) typically require 3 visits, usually on consecutive weekdays. Qualified panelists will be from 18 to 65 years of age and have fair skin that burns easily in the sun.
Cosmetic Products.  These products might be lipstick, nail polishes, moisturizers, etc. The studies vary greatly ranging from 2 visits over 4 weeks to 9-10 visits over a period of 2-3 months. Age and skin type requirements depend on the product being tested.
Children’s Products.  Recent studies for children have included diaper wipes, cough/cold medication, bubble baths & shampoo. Ages from 3 months and up.
