Skin Care and Clinical Trials with FRL CRO

Food Research Lab (FRL) CRO: Create clinically proven product claims to support your skincare, cosmetic, or personal care brand, and show that your products work and are safe to use.

Clinical Trials for Skincare and Cosmetic Brands
Unlock the Power of Clinical Validation for Your Products Skincare and cosmetic clinical trials are the golden ticket for brands seeking to substantiate product performance with science-backed claims that ignite business growth. Clinical studies serve as a compelling testament that your products deliver on their promises, driving website and ad conversions, securing wholesale listings, and cultivating trust within your customer base.

Our clinical trials division, in particular, focuses on the development of trials to support specific advertising (efficacy) claims. We craft customized clinical trials aimed at substantiating precise advertising claims for our clients. More intricate claims demand more precise evidence to ensure that the product can deliver on its promises. The development and execution of a robust trial protocol that yields high-quality, defensible data can provide the foundation for claims that set your products apart in the market. In an era of heightened consumer awareness, it’s more crucial than ever for companies to have evidence that their products can genuinely deliver on their claims.

Elevate Your Brand with Clinical Validation: While most skincare and cosmetic products make grand claims, consumers yearn for evidence that supports these promises. Positive reviews are impactful, but research-backed claims set you apart. Brands that invest in clinically proven claims signal transparency and product efficacy. FRL is your trusted partner, supporting the clinical testing of skincare, cosmetic, and personal care products to infuse scientific validation into your brand.

At FRL, we are committed to ethical and cruelty-free testing for cosmetics and personal care products. We take pride in our cutting-edge in vitro cell-based testing partnered facility, offering a humane alternative to animal testing.

FRL stands as the fastest-growing provider specializing in creating clinically proven product claims.

We design studies tailored to your objectives, whether it's substantiating claims, boosting website conversions, or securing wholesale listings.

Study Options to Fit Your Needs:

Site-Based Studies with Instruments: Traditional clinical studies often involve dermatologists, professional before-and-after pictures, and specialized instruments. While effective, this approach can be costly.
Virtual Studies: More cost-efficient virtual (or decentralized) clinical trials are gaining popularity. These studies maintain scientific rigor through study design and questionnaires. They offer options for before-and-after photos and expert skin grading.
Consumer Perception Studies: Though not as scientific as clinical trials, perception studies are resourceful for creating product claims. Typically encompassing 30-40 participants, these studies focus on data-driven claims creation.

Consumer Perception Studies vs. Clinical Trials: Perception studies are less scientific and primarily aim to create claims. Clinical trials offer more robust, research-backed claims with statistical analysis, biomarkers, detailed questionnaires, and inclusion/exclusion criteria for study participants.

What Does Dermatologist-Approved Mean? Dermatologist approval signifies a dermatologist's endorsement of a product's safety and efficacy. It does not necessarily involve a clinical study.

FRL simplifies the process of testing your skincare products, offering a range of study options, from randomized-controlled studies to consumer perception studies. We handle every aspect of the study, ensuring you receive the data needed to support your claims.

Embark on a transformative journey for your brand by embracing clinical trials with FRL. Initiating clinical trials for your products is more accessible than you think and represents a valuable investment in your brand's future. Contact us today and witness the power of scientific validation.
