Seelab has teamed up with the Bio-EC Laboratory and the University of Cergy-Pontoise to bring innovations to cosmetic products for the skin thanks to its GP150 spectrophotometer.
The project with Bio-EC consists in implementing, on a population of volunteers, a method for objectifying complexion radiance, by obtaining in a single, rapid and repeatable measurement two parameters characteristic of radiance: color and brightness, thanks to direct measurement of BRDF. The expected result is proof of the effectiveness of a skincare cream. In addition, the project with the SATIE laboratory at the University of Cergy Pontoise will provide the cosmetics industry with access to the SATIE platform. Cosmetomics Seelab's BRDF (brilliance and color) direct measurement devices for use in characterizing and objectifying the appearance of cosmetic products, their components and their performance, in vivo and in vitro. For research services based on innovative measurements, manufacturers can contact Cosmetomics.
Guillaume Turpin, Seelab's Managing Director, commented: "For a designer of measuring instruments like Seelab, the collaboration with the Bio-EC laboratory enables us to develop trade measurement methods applied to the highly buoyant field of cosmetics. On the other hand, with the University of Cergy-Pontoise and its Cosmetomics platform, Seelab is in contact with a laboratory that is always close to industry, with a broad scope of applications. This enables Seelab to showcase today's technologies and prepare tomorrow's measuring instruments."
Elian Lati, Managing Director of the Bio-EC laboratory, notes that "the use of Seelab's GP150 opens the way to new studies on the objectification of the appearance and performance of cosmetic products".
Seelab is a French designer and manufacturer of appearance measurement and analysis solutions.
Seelab, and appearance characterization: the GP spectrophotometer developed by Seelab is the only portable instrument to combine gloss and color measurement, via direct measurement of BRDF at several angles. This gives objective, quantified access to these characteristic appearance parameters.
