IDEA Clinic is proud to announce the introduction of their new state-of-the-art evaluation room. Highly customisable humidity and temperature control features allow for the performance of clinical tests in extreme weather conditions. The new evaluation room, complete with a large viewing window, has the capacity to hold up to 20 volunteers simultaneously, each monitored throughout the assessment.
"This new room offers cosmetics companies and cosmetic ingredient suppliers the ability to evaluate the effectiveness of their formulas or antiperspirant molecules under strictly controlled conditions of humidity and temperature" says Dr. Anne Casoli, Head of IDEA Clinic. The room can even be equipped with treadmills to simulate situations of intense physical effort. It may also uncover interesting applications in haircare to test anti-frizz and anti-humidity hair products as well as in makeup, skincare and suncare products to assess the formula resistance to moisture or perspiration.
