Practical Aspects of Cosmetic Testing - How to Set up a Scientific Study in Skin Physiology by Joachim Fluhr provides basic knowledge on how to plan, perform, and evaluate scientific studies. The authors are recognized experts in the field and describe in comprehensive chapters the practical aspects of noninvasive measurements. The first part of the book is dedicated to regulatory aspects of cosmetic testing including guidelines, ethical aspects, and claim support. The second part deals with the general aspects of cosmetic studies, namely requirements of the testing laboratory, testing staff, populations, study design, and the reporting of the study outcomes. The third part is dedicated to some typical examples of test settings including efficacy claim studies for moisturizers and emollients, antiaging and antiwrinkle products, antiperspirants and deodorants, and cosmetics for impure skin; and assessment of hair morphology, skin color, and others.
Getting acquainted with the good practice in cosmetic testing would be helpful to the reader not only for better practical performance of a study, but also to interpret and evaluate the strong and weak points of other investigators’ research.
The book should guide into good planning, careful performing, and critical interpretation of cosmetic studies. Of course, reading does not replace hands-on training and personal experience.
