Claims Substantiation Support Services for Cosmetic Product Success
What is Claims substantiation support?
Claims substantiation support services validate the marketing promises you make about your cosmetic products through scientific testing and documentation. Labs on our platform conduct clinical trials, consumer perception studies, and instrumental measurements to prove your product actually delivers what it claims—whether that’s 24-hour hydration, anti-aging benefits, or SPF protection. Here’s what many brands overlook: substantiation needs to happen before launch, not after competitors or regulators challenge your claims.
Why do you need this service?
Cosmetic labs validate marketing claims through clinical testing and consumer studies that prove your product delivers promised results. Labs conduct instrumental measurements for anti-aging products, patch tests for sensitive skin formulas, and before-after photography studies that generate legally compliant evidence you need for product launches and retail partnerships.

Claims Substantiation Support Services
Cosmetic labs on our platform provide claims substantiation support to validate your product promises with scientific evidence. These services bridge the gap between marketing aspirations and regulatory compliance, helping brands build credibility while meeting legal requirements for cosmetic claims.
Testing Methods for Product Claims
Labs verify product performance through targeted testing protocols. For anti-aging claims, they measure wrinkle depth reduction using 3D imaging over 4-8 week periods. Moisturizing claims get backed by corneometer readings that track skin hydration levels.
Common substantiation tests include:
- Clinical trials with 20-50 participants
- Instrumental measurements (pH, viscosity, stability)
- Consumer perception studies
- Before/after photography documentation
- Dermatologist evaluations
Each test generates data reports that support your marketing language and satisfy regulatory scrutiny.
Documentation and Regulatory Alignment
Partner labs create claim dossiers that compile all supporting evidence into organized files. These documents include test protocols, raw data, statistical analyses, and expert interpretations that regulators expect to see.
Labs tailor documentation to specific markets—FDA requirements differ from EU standards. They’ll flag problematic claims early and suggest alternatives that still resonate with consumers while staying compliant. This proactive approach saves brands from costly label reprints or regulatory warnings.
Working with experienced labs means your product claims stand on solid scientific ground from day one.
Real-World Applications of Claims Substantiation Support
Claims substantiation services transform marketing promises into verified facts through scientific testing and documentation.
Product Performance Validation
Labs conduct claims substantiation testing for cosmetic products using clinical trials, consumer perception studies, and instrumental analysis. A moisturizer claiming “24-hour hydration” requires corneometry measurements at specific intervals, while anti-aging serums need wrinkle depth analysis through 3D imaging.
Testing protocols match claim types—hydration claims use transepidermal water loss (TEWL) measurements, while brightening products require colorimetry data. Labs typically complete basic efficacy studies within 4-8 weeks, depending on the claim complexity and participant requirements.
Regulatory Compliance Documentation
Substantiation teams prepare technical dossiers that satisfy FDA, EU, and international requirements for cosmetic product claims. Each market demands different evidence levels—the EU requires safety assessments before launch, while the FDA focuses on truthful advertising standards.
Documentation packages include test methodologies, statistical analyses, and expert opinions. Labs often provide claim language recommendations based on test results, ensuring marketing statements align with scientific evidence.
