RISE and L'Oreal Research and Innovation has developed a new method to study penetration of compounds into the skin
When developing cosmetic products, it is important to know if compounds penetrate into the skin and, if so, where they end up inside the skin. The challenge with existing methods is to distinguish the cosmetic ingredients from the natural (and often similar) compounds that the skin is made of, and to determine exactly where they localize within the different structures of the skin.In an innovative approach, the RISE and L'Oreal Research teams combined advanced technologies to investigate how substances applied onto the skin can penetrate the skin's barrier by, both, quantifying the
