The Science Behind Your Claims — Independent, Measured, Defensible
In a competitive landscape where marketing claims are often exaggerated or unsubstantiated,
Santi Skin Lab provides independent data, clinical-grade imaging, and measurable outcomes
to help you validate the performance of your skincare products, ingestibles, devices and in-clinic treatments.
Whether you need pre-launch evidence, ongoing performance tracking, or
white-label diagnostic support for your brand, our platform allows you to demonstrate
meaningful improvements in hydration, elasticity, collagen structure, pigmentation, glycation,
hair density, scalp health and more — measured with precision and presented with clarity.
For clinics, brands & professional partners
Evidence you can stand behind: measured, documented, defensible
Santi Skin Lab combines multi-modal imaging, quantitative skin metrics and hair diagnostics to help you substantiate treatment and product claims with clinical-grade data — from hydration and elasticity to hair density, glycation and skin colour.
Why measured efficacy matters for your clinic or brand
Clients, regulators and professional partners are increasingly sceptical of unsupported promises. Santi Skin Lab provides the infrastructure to move from marketing language to measurable change, supporting:
Defensible product & treatment claims
Build campaigns on quantified outcomes rather than subjective impressions. We help you define claims that can be supported with data and imagery from real-world use.
Regulatory & advertising confidence
Efficacy assessments are designed with Advertising Standards Authority and Trading Standards expectations in mind, helping you avoid overstatement while still communicating genuine benefit.
Differentiation in a crowded market
An evidence-backed narrative elevates your brand above generic “results driven” claims, and aligns your offering with medical, dermal and scientific standards.
Our measurement platform: what we currently quantify
Santi’s Skin Lab integrates multiple devices and imaging systems to give a multi-dimensional view of skin and hair. These tools can be combined into bespoke protocols for products, treatments or longitudinal programmes.
Multi-light facial imaging
Standardised facial photography with multiple light sources to visualise:
- Pigmentation, redness and vascular changes
- Wrinkles, texture and pore visibility
- Surface oil, congestion and comedones
x100 camera magnification
High-resolution close-ups for:
- Fine lines and micro-wrinkling
- Pore size and perioral/ocular detail
- Follicular health and scaling
Collagen ultrasound & elasticity
Deep dermal assessment supports claims around firmness and skin quality:
- Collagen pattern and density
- Elasticity and viscoelastic response
- Support for “firming”, “plumping” narratives
Hydration & TEWL
Corneometry and transepidermal water loss readings can demonstrate:
- Improved hydration levels
- Barrier support and reduced water loss
- Impact of moisturisers and barrier repair products
Skin colour, brightness & glycation
Objective colour measurements and imaging indices to track:
- Brightness and evenness of skin tone
- Yellowing and dullness associated with glycation
- Localised pigmentation changes
Hair density & thickness
Hair-focused measurements for scalp programmes and devices:
- Follicle counts per cm²
- Terminal vs vellus hair balance
- Shaft thickness trends over time
How we support product and treatment claims
We work with clinics, brands and device manufacturers to design pragmatic, real-world protocols that generate meaningful, publishable and campaign-ready outcomes.
Creams, serums & protocols
From barrier repair and brightening to anti-ageing, we can combine hydration, TEWL, texture, elasticity and imaging to support balanced, defensible claims.
Collagen & nutritional support
For ingestible products such as collagen drinks, we focus on medium-term changes in collagen structure, elasticity, hydration and overall skin appearance.
Energy-based & regenerative treatments
Laser, light-based devices, PRP and other regenerative procedures can be tracked with structural and surface metrics, giving clear pre-/post-treatment documentation.
Typical efficacy protocol
A study might include baseline measurements, interim reviews and a final assessment, with standardised imaging, device-based readings and structured patient-reported outcomes. We can adapt complexity and duration to fit your product, device or clinic setting.
Claims we can support — and where we stay cautious
We are careful to avoid overstated or medical claims where the evidence is not appropriate. The table below illustrates how we think about typical wording and supporting data.
| Claim theme | Typical wording | Evidence we use |
|---|---|---|
| Hydration & barrier | Improves skin hydration and supports the skin barrier | Corneometry hydration readings, TEWL measurements, before/after imaging of dryness |
| Firmness & elasticity | Helps improve the look of firmness and elasticity | Elasticity metrics, collagen ultrasound patterns, standardised facial imaging |
| Radiance & colour | Helps promote a more even, radiant complexion | Colour and pigmentation indices, glycation-related appearance markers, clinical photography |
| Texture & pores | Refines skin texture and visibly smooths the look of pores | x100 magnification photography, texture scoring, patient-reported outcomes |
| Hair density | Supports thicker-looking, fuller hair | Hair count and density per cm², shaft thickness distribution, trichoscopic imaging |
Examples are indicative only. Final claim language is always tailored to your product, jurisdiction and regulatory advice.
