FAQ
About Validated Claim Support: frequently asked questions
What does Validated Claim Support do?
Validated Claim Support is a clinical testing laboratory that substantiates product claims by analyzing documented physiological changes to human skin under a controlled product use regimen. Analysis uses trained objective grading, instrumental evaluation, clinical imaging and participants' own sensory feedback, for products from OTC sunscreens and anti-aging skincare to makeup, cosmetics and haircare.
Is Validated Claim Support FDA registered?
Yes. Validated Claim Support is an FDA registered and inspected clinical site, listed on the FDA's drug establishment registration database. Registration matters because anyone who handles products on their way to market, including testing laboratories, must be registered, and OTC products such as dandruff, hair growth, acne and antiperspirant products must be tested in appropriately certified facilities.
Where do study participants come from?
Validated Claim Support recruits test subjects from the local community and pays them for their time and inconvenience while they use products supplied by sponsors. Panelist payouts are cashless, handled through Greenphire ClinCard by Suvoda reloadable debit cards, with every payment documented for IRS reporting.
How is VCS different from a large CRO?
Validated Claim Support was designed as an alternative to the CRO status quo. As a single-site, clinically focused team, VCS can make decisions quickly, treat each claims and efficacy study as a unique project, and either integrate industry-standard methodologies or custom tailor a protocol with your team.
Can VCS help with retailer testing requirements?
Yes. Retailers such as Sephora, Walmart, HSN/QVC and Amazon each have their own clinical and safety testing requirements. Validated Claim Support can help you navigate each distribution channel so your products are safe, effective and compliant.
What facilities does VCS have for study participants?
Validated Claim Support was designed with safe and private testing spaces throughout its Teaneck, New Jersey site, including 16 individual treatment bays, 8 completely private waiting areas and multiple convertible spaces.
