FAQ
Footcare and Lower Leg Testing: frequently asked questions
Why is foot care testing difficult?
Footcare products are notoriously difficult to test accurately because of the treatment site: consistent images are hard to capture and the feet are not naturally photogenic. Validated Claim Support has a proven track record substantiating footcare claims, with a portfolio of images to back it up.
What foot care claims can Validated Claim Support test?
Validated Claim Support can help substantiate footcare claims covering exfoliation, hydration, tough skin, cracked heels, sweat control, odor reduction, pain reduction, blisters, fungus and athlete's foot, nail discoloration and improvement in discomfort, whether a product relies on hydration, exfoliation or film and barrier forming components.
Can VCS test anti-fungal and pain relief foot products?
Yes. For more drug-oriented OTC claims, Validated Claim Support can use secondary study designs, including measuring the self-perceived efficacy of anti-fungal products. As an FDA registered clinical laboratory, VCS can bring in a licensed dermatologist or podiatrist as a study reviewer or principal investigator.
