BASF has opened its new clinical and consumer testing center at its 160,000 square foot R&D facility in Tarrytown, NY. The new Tarrytown Consumer Testing Center (TCTC) is equipped with the most sophisticated clinical instrumentation available for personal care applications and allows BASF to support novel claims and produce clinical imaging for all market segments within personal care. Clinical trials began in early June.
“Our new team is excited to bring years of experience in clinical and consumer testing to meet the needs of our customers,” said Dr. Wendy Chan, clinical research manager. “The TCTC enhances our services in producing highly advanced clinical imaging and the latest evaluation technologies to validate claims in all areas of personal care. For example, we are able to support advanced anti-aging claims by analyzing 3D images of the skin surface. We have also developed methods to measure facial skin radiance through image analysis.”
BASF has broad expertise and long history in innovative clinical research and consumer testing to prove the efficacy of its portfolio, including materials for personal care, home care, pharmaceuticals, and nutrition. BASF designs its research to address key corrective actions in all market segments of personal care. Research areas include skin pigmentation, skin aging, protection against environmental stress, and modulation of hair growth. The consumer tests evaluate consumer perception and acceptance of formulations designed with the company’s roster of ingredients.
