Moisturization

Studies of this kind assess variables such as dryness and moisturization.  For evaluating these skin qualities, BioScience Laboratories uses the latest scientific instrumentation:

• Tewameter --  measures rate of transepidermal water loss, an indicator of damaged skin
• Visioscan -- measures several qualities of the skin, such as scaliness and wrinkling, by means of digital scanning and computer analysis of the resulting image
• Digital Photography -- provides visual display of the skin for subjective pre-/post-application comparisons
• Dsquame® tab – provides an indicator of dryness, harvests and preserves for enumeration epidermal squames by adhesively lifting them from the skin.

BioScience Laboratories scientific personnel are trained extensively for visual evaluation of skin condition, and we can provide board-certified dermatologists for studies of products requiring dermatologically tested claims.
