At Vivotecnia we offer our customers a wide range of safety evaluation tests for cosmetic products and their ingredients. Our team of experts and collaborators have validated in-house in vitro methods approved by the European Centre for the Validation of Alternative Methods (ECVAM) for evaluating cosmetic products for cytotoxicity, local toxicity (skin and eye irritation), genotoxicity and photo-induced toxicity, in the case of UV absorption.

All tests are performed under strict quality standards, in compliance with good laboratory practices and Regulation (EC) No. 1223/2009 on cosmetic products.
