217723 - 48-Hour Moisturisation Study - Study Details - £115

Study Overview

Eurofins Alba are inviting you to take part in a 48-hour moisturisation study. The objective of the study is to evaluate the moisturisation potential of a product over a 48-hour time period of test materials (with an untreated control site). Corneometer® and TEWL® measurements will be taken at predetermined time points. This moisturisation will have tanning products - please ensure you bring clothing that can avoid contact with the product to avoid staining.

Recruited volunteers will be asked to perform a wash-out phase prior to study commencement. They will be asked not to apply any moisturisers or use moisturising products on your legs for 3 days before this study starts and for the duration of the study. Baseline (0h) Corneometer® and TEWL® measurements will be taken from the sites on the skin. The test materials will then be applied to the legs by test personnel. One area on the legs will remain untreated, designated as the untreated control site. Volunteers will have further Corneometer® and TEWL® measurements taken at pre-determined timepoints. Volunteers will remain at the test centre until the 12h assessment has been completed on day one.
