- Real human skin equivalent
- Thousands of industry tests
- Meets ethical, regulatory and competitive standards
THE GOLD STANDARD
Labskin is the gold standard when testing skin care, cosmetics, health care, drug delivery or wound care products. The Labskin test platform and protocols help maintain an optimum real-world environment that shows the positive or negative impact on skin’s natural microflora.
- Constructed from human keratinocyte and fibroblast cells.
- Cells naturally produce the extracellular matrix.
- Thick and dry stratum corneum allows Labskin to be populated with bespoke consortia of microorganisms representing the complex human microbiomes found in various environments of the body.
- Labskin produces a vast array of proteins such as fibrinogen, collagen, anti-microbial peptides and many more.
