Cosmetic Regulations & Claims Substantiation: Dermatological & Clinical Testing Services

Claims such as “Dermatologically Tested,” “Suitable for Sensitive Skin,” “Hypoallergenic,” “24-Hour Moisturization,” or “Evens Skin Tone” help cosmetic products stand out in the marketplace. However, these claims also carry regulatory obligations and must be supported by appropriate scientific evidence.

Under the Cosmetic Products Regulation and the Common Criteria for Cosmetic Claims, all statements appearing on product labels, packaging, or marketing materials must be supported by adequate, verifiable, and scientifically substantiated evidence. Test methods used to support these claims must be appropriate for evaluating the claimed effect and based on internationally accepted scientific methodologies.

For manufacturers and brand owners, developing an effective formulation is only part of the process. Equally important is demonstrating product performance with scientifically validated clinical data that can support regulatory inspections, Product Information File (PIF) requirements, retailer acceptance, and international market access.

At Bilim Laboratory, together with our experienced team and our internationally recognized partner laboratory network, we provide comprehensive clinical testing services to support your product claims. All studies are conducted using internationally accepted methodologies and reported with scientifically validated data.
