C.L.A.I.M.S starts blanching studies for topical corticosteroids

C.L.A.I.M.S Pvt. Ltd, a clinical research organization evaluating the safety and efficacy of cosmeceutical, dermaceutical and OTC products in the area of skin, hair and body care, has recently started blanching studies for topical corticosteroids as per the USFDA guidelines. A number of pharma companies are now taking advantage of this service to evaluate their products for bioequivalence. This can now replace the expensive trials done out of the country.

Apart from this C.L.A.I.M.S offers services for systematic sensorial evaluation of hair care and skin care products.

Says R.B.Mohile, Managing Director , “We have highly specialised instruments that use non-invasive 3D skin imaging for wrinkle measurements, skin colorimetry for melanin,collagen and haemoglobin measurement of skin, measurement of moisture in different layers of the skin, skin elasticity…..to name a few. Use of such non-invasive technology helps to make objective measurements of parameters that were traditionally measured only subjectively. It also helps to match subjective perceptions of consumers with such objective parameters for better product development. Our people are trained to use these to get accurate and reproducible results".
