Institute Dr. Schrader

Testing Skin

From the standard trial design to the individually adapted study design of a combination study, from small screening studies in the first efficacy analysis to the large studies with corresponding statistical support of the data analysis in bio-statistics.

Testing Hair

In the hair workspace, application studies of all kinds are carried out combined with dermatological and ophthalmological control.

Product Consulting

Independent galenic application technology for the cosmetics industry has been our task for 50 years. Within the scope of galenics, we develop new, individually tailored formulations for any kind of cosmetics for skin care and hair care – especially also sun protection products as well as natural cosmetics.

Analytics

The analytical work area stands for chemical-analytical investigations of cosmetics. The focus of the department’s work is on the quality assurance of cosmetic products.

Alternative test methods in sun protection

The internationally recognized methodology for determining the sun protection factor according to ISO 24444 is considered the "gold standard". The testing is invasive, time consuming and complex.
The "Alt-SPF" project is currently the largest interlaboratory test in the field of sun protection testing and evaluates non-invasive and resource-saving alternative methods.
We are participating in the review of the non-invasive in vivo methodology - HDRS (Hybrid Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy). The method was developed in-house, describing for the first time a reliable alternative test method for SPF and UVA-PF determination that takes into account the interaction of the sunscreen with the skin. ...more

HDRS (Hybrid Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy)

A new in-vivo method for sun protection testing finally on the threshold of ISO introduction

Right from the beginning of the first ideas, Institut Dr. Schrader Hautphysiologie is part of the ALT-SPF Consortium for developing alternative methods regarding SPF determination, including the Hybrid Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (HDRS) method which is currently an ISO draft standard.

Digital Measurement
Volume, Smoothness, Anti-Frizz

Digital volume measurement is used to determine hair volume following the application of hairstyling or hair care products. For this test, hair strands are treated differently depending on the type of product.

A light source is used to cast a shadow of the hair strands, which is measured digitally before and after treatment (possibly several treatments). The exact volume of the hair strand is determined by rotating the strand and further image analysis.

ICL-S (Proof of Antioxidant Efficacy)

Modern cosmetics with efficacy claims like “Anti-Ageing” or “Oxidative Protection” are among others complex mixtures of UV filters and antioxidants.

Proof of efficacy must be obtained with sound scientific methods for such claims. Sunlight (UV radiation) is the main cause of premature skin aging (photo-ageing), primarily due to generation of free radicals and the oxidative stress associated with them. The biggest challenge in claim support is non-invasive yet sensitive measurement of oxidative stress on subjects.
