BEHIND THE INGREDIENT
Anne Jensen skincare ingredients are carefully selected and matched to the skin's needs.
Nature has its own pharmacy and no two plants are the same, or have properties that suit all skin types or, can be used to solve all skincare problems, such as dry skin, oily skin, sensitive skin or +40 skin that has incipient lines. Fine lines appear due to the skin losing some of some of its elasticity. Can we remove the natural loss of skin elasticity? No, we can't but we can help the skin stay healthy and retain its radiance and elasticity for as long as possible, both through a good varied diet but also by giving the skin an extra boost with the right skincare. Here we are fortunate that nature's vast pharmacy of good plants and flowers on land and at sea, can help us on our way by using the plants and their properties that are targeted to different skin types.
Skincare is all about finding the right skincare for your skin type.
Here we give you a little insight into how the ingredients work.

IN-VIVO TEST
In-vivo testing is an essential part of the cosmeticindustry, and it plays a vital role in ensuring that products are safe, effective, and meet regulatory requirements.
In-vivo testing refers to the testing of cosmetic products on human volunteers in a controlled environment. This testing includes evaluating the cosmetic product's safety and efficacy by observing its effects on the skin, hair, and eyes. In-vivo testing is different from in-vitro testing, which refers to testing done on non-living biological systems such as cell cultures.
In-vivo testing is necessary to ensure that cosmetic products are safe and effective for use. The cosmetic industry is highly regulated, and cosmetic products must meet regulatory requirements before they can be sold to consumers.
In-vivo testing is essential for meeting these requirements and ensuring that the product is safe and effective for use. In addition, in-vivo testing provides important information on how the product interacts with the skin and other biological systems, which is critical for product development.
In-vivo testing is conducted in a controlled environment under the supervision of trained professionals. Human volunteers are recruited to participate in the study, and they are given detailed information about the study's purpose and procedures. Participants are asked to sign a consent form before the study begins, which outlines the study's purpose, potential risks, and benefits. During the study, participants are asked to use the cosmetic product according to the study's protocol. The product's effects are then evaluated, and data is collected on its safety and efficacy. This data is then analyzed to determine whether the product is safe and effective for use.
In-vivo testing provides several benefits for the cosmetic industry. It allows for the evaluation of cosmetic products' safety and efficacy, which is necessary for regulatory
compliance.
In-vivo testing also provides important information on how the product interacts with the skin and other biological systems, which is critical for product development.
Additionally, in-vivo testing can help cosmetic companies differentiate their products from competitors by providing scientific evidence of their product's safety and efficty.
IN- VITRO TEST
Is a metode ways to ensure that these products meet the necessary safety and efficacy standards is through in-vitro testing. In-vitro testing refers to the use of laboratory techniques to study the effects of a cosmetic product on cells, tissues, and organs in a controlled environment outside of the body. This type of testing is typically used during the early stages of product development to screen for potential toxicity and to evaluate the product's mechanism of action
So, why is in-vitro testing important it allows researchers to study the effects of a product on a cellular level, providing valuable insights into the potential risks and benefits of the product before it is tested on humans.
In-vitro testing is just one piece of the puzzle when it comes to evaluating the safety and efficacy of a cosmetic product. In addition to in-vitro testing,
cosmetic companies typically conduct in-vivo testing and clinical trials (on human subjects) to ensure that their products meet the necessary safety and efficacy standards.
In-vitro testing remains a crucial step in the development of safe and effective cosmetic products. By using in-vitro testing alongside in-vivo testing and clinical trials, cosmetic companies can gain a comprehensive understanding of their product's safety and efficacy, ensuring that they are providing their customers with the best possible products.
In conclusion, in-vitro testing is a powerful tool in the development of safe and effective cosmetic products. By using in-vitro testing, cosmetic companies can evaluate the
potential risks and benefits of their products before testing on humans, providing valuable insights into the product's mechanism of action and safety.
