Preclinical testing of dermo-cosmetic ingredients safety & efficacy
At Rubisco we take care of carrying out the necessary tests and trials to guarantee that your products meet the necessary conditions to be marketed. Thanks to our studies in human cell models, we can obtain the necessary data so that you can enhance your product through scientific validation.
Phytochemical characterization
Identification and quantification of families of polyphenols present in plant extracts.
Safety studies of plant extracts
Evaluate whether plant extracts are toxic to the skin, using human skin cell lines. The expected result is to define if the extract is applicable in dermo-cosmetic products
Cosmetic efficacy of plant extracts
Laboratory evaluation of the beneficial properties of plant extracts using human skin cell lines. The expected result is to demonstrate in the laboratory the efficacy of an extract for dermo-cosmetic products
