XCellR8, a safety and efficacy testing lab that has made its tests entirely animal-product free, has unveiled its latest model for predicting mildness to skin. The new test uses cutting edge cell culture techniques to detect subtle differences.
In a two-year project funded by Innovate UK, the new in vitro mildness test was validated against human volunteer trials, with the in vitro data accurately predicting the rank order of human in vivo clinical scores in all studies, finally allowing brands to determine “how gentle is gentle.”
The new test uses an adaptation of a regulatory skin irritation test, where subtle differences between mild and ultra-mild formulations can be measured by their ET50 score. The test is commonly used to assess new baby formulations such as shampoos, foams and body washes.
