VITRO-CORNEUM - An Innovative Substrate from IMS

VITRO-CORNEUM is a protein-based substrate that mimics the properties of human stratum corneum. Like human stratum corneum, the visco-elastic properties of VITRO-CORNEUM change dramatically with changes in hydration.

Thus, it can be used to demonstrate the moisturization properties of personal care raw materials and finished products in vitro, while avoiding the difficulties of separating and working with human epidermis.
