Technical Details & Test Data
- Efficacy Tests
A 4 week clinical study measuring the stratum corneum's hydration state over time. Phytocare is an extremely powerful water retention active, providing culmative, long lasting hydration replenishment to damaged skin, restoring the skin’s natural vitality and ability to resist environmental stressors. This particular study shows that the hydration level of skin treated with Phytocare increased 2.6 times over the course of four weeks.
This clinical study measures the stratum corneum's ability to absorb and retain water over time.
This desorption study measures the overall strength of the stratum corneum’s barrier function, and its ability to keep water from evaporating out. Phytocare significantly lowers the desorption rate, signifying a stronger, healthier skin barrier.
Safety & Health
- Safety Data
- Repeated Insult Patch Test (RIPT) with 50 human subjects shows no skin irritation and no skin sensitization.
- Total heavy metal < 20 ppm, and Arsenic < 2 ppm
- Microbiology data: Total aerobic bacteria count and the total yeast/mold count < 100 cfu/g, free of Pathogens: E.Coli, P. Aeruginosa, and S. Aureus.
