Prior to launching a functional product it is essential to know how effective it is. Measuring the level of efficacy allows for substantive claim support such as “offers 24hr protection” in the case of an antiperspirant.
WSS offers a range of services for efficacy testing or claim support. We have over ten years experience in testing antiperspirants and deodorants for in-vivo efficacy as well as assessing oral and foot malodour reductions.
We have hot room facilities to measure antiperspirant efficacy to the highest standard. The room is maintained at 40°C and 40% RH, and the testing is carried out in accordance with the agreed BACC protocol. We make 'before and after' measurements, in order that actual levels of reduction in perspiration can be measured.
To date, we have successfully completed projects on deodorants, antiperspirants, dentifrices and foot products, as well as air fresheners and products designed to combat malodours on fabrics such as towels and bathmats. As well as central location tests, we provide home use placements for assessing products under normal user conditions.
