In a global context consumers show an increasing awareness of air pollution and its consequences for the personal wellbeing. More and more the air pollution impact on human skin is being discussed at the same time.
Consumers wish to additionally protect skin areas which are heavily exposed to air pollution, ie. face or hands. This is especially the case in regions with strongly advanced urbanisation and severe air pollution. The cosmetic industry has already provided numerous products with an 'Anti-Pollution'-claim. However clinical testing methods have not yet been adapted appropriately. On the contrary: testing an Anti-Pollution-Cosmetic by means of an in vivo method which lives up to the expectations of controlled, standardised and reproducible pollution application seems to be an obstacle which not many CROs are able to overcome.
In order to fill this gap proDERM has recently implemented an innovative procedure for the testing of Anti-Pollution-Cosmetics. Stephan Bielfeldt, CTO and Director Research, will present this method in a webinar to be held on 28 January 2016 - 3 pm cet. Participants will also learn about general dermatological effects of air pollution, available test methods as well as example results of the proDERM method.
