Our Services
From discovery to development
We offer a distinctive combination of contract research services to organisations who take seriously the need to develop skin care products which really work. We can generate robust scientific data from early-stage research to help understand efficacy through to supporting product marketing claims.
Advanced skin models
Our highly advanced 3D living skin equivalent model (LabSkinTM) is unique in providing unrivalled opportunities for non-animal testing and research. The fully differentiated epidermis is supported by a dermal component consisting of fibroblasts in a fibrin matrix. The model also allows microorganisms to be grown on its surface, mimicking infection or the skin’s natural microflora. This configuration ensures we can assess your skin care ingredients and formulations with possibly the most comprehensive range of tests available in an in vitro model. Available assays include assessments for antimicrobial and pre-biotic activity, penetration, anti-ageing and anti-inflammatory properties.
The approachable face of skin science
From the start of a project we will work with you to find the best possible R&D route for your product. Our independent and straightforward approach allows us to seek out the best way of doing things whilst maintaining the highest standards of customer service.
Strong scientific heritage
Originally founded by research scientists from the world-renowned Skin Research Centre at the University of Leeds, Evocutis is proud of its unique scientific heritage. We are specialists in providing industry-focused research services supported by leading-edge expertise in skin science. This allows us to help you develop ingredients and products which really work.
Responsiveness and flexibility
Unlike many other contract research companies we offer a highly specialised and flexible portfolio of assays, models and clinical protocols focused entirely on skin science. We believe that no other research company can be as responsive in its approach to the challenges of skin care R&D.
