Clinical testing of cosmetics and personal care products play a key role in substantiating product claims for packaging and advertising whilst also ensuring that the marketed product is safe and effective for consumer use. Acquiring scientifically backed claims help commercial teams determine the positioning of the product. Clinically proven products are very well differentiated in the shelf from others. Product development is unambiguously the strong forte of research and development (R&D) companies, manufacturers and formulators. However, they require strong partners to clinically validate therapeutic claims of researched formulations. It is certainly the strong forte of experienced Clinical Research Organization (CRO).
