Consumer Protection Claims Supporting Your Prestige Brand
Cosmetic Claims and Skincare Claims should not just be items on a checklist, they are the proof that will give global consumers a reason to believe in your products. By documenting your claims and researching the effects, you ensure that the global consumer is treated with the standard of care and respect that they deserve.
It’s critically important not simply to state your label claims from a regulatory perspective, but to document them in a well supported, reproducible environment at an FDA Registered Clinical Laboratory.
Preliminary safety testing and skincare irritation testing protects the consumer, ensures that you meet local and international regulatory requirements, and allows you to enter competitive distribution channels with hard requirements in place.
Retailer venues such as Sephora, Walmart, HSN/QVC, and Amazon.com all have their own respective clinical and safety testing requirements in place for clinical data. Validated Claim Support can help you navigate each respective distribution channel to ensure your products are safe, effective, and compliant.
Ethical And Accurate Claim Support Providing Peace Of Mind
Validated Claim Support provides a novel approach to efficacy testing in the skincare, haircare and cosmetic market: ethical data capture, reliable, consistent clinical reporting, and technological innovation are at the vanguard of our organization.
We’re an ethnically diverse, privately held and funded group that came from all over the industry. We’re proud to be an organization that is empowered by women: 90% of our staff and most of our department heads are female.
Differentiating Your Cosmetic Products Through Clinical Studies
By properly positioning your product you can boost sales, increase consumer awareness, differentiate your product among a swarm of competitors, support your profitability with robust clinical data, and most importantly have the confidence that your studies were handled in a professional, secure, and trustworthy fashion.
What Is Consumer Product Testing And Claim Support?
Validated Claim Support provides clinical services through the analysis of documented and recorded physiological changes to human skin under a controlled product use regimen. We recruit test subjects from the local community and pay them for their time and inconvenience while they use products received from our sponsor clientele.
Analysis is done via technical/trained objective grading, instrumental evaluation, clinical imaging and self-assessed/sensory and tactile responses of human test subjects. Products tested include OTC sunscreens and SPF components, moisturizers and anti-aging products, makeup and cosmetics, hair care treatment regimen, and a wide range of topical consumer-facing products.
Ensuring Consumers are Getting Quality Products
Validated Claim Support helps ensure that the claims that are made on product labels are accurate and ethically Validated. We also provide expert level consulting services and industry-leading before & after photography..
