Our most recent scientific publication is related to sensory analysis, used to evaluate the sensorial profile of products and their capability to induce visual, tactile, olfactory, auditory and taste perceptions. The cosmetic industry is well-aware of the importance of offering products to consumers with a sensory profile that matches their expectations. Sensory analysis can adequately […]

Hyperpigmentation occurs when melanin is overproduced and accumulated in some skin areas resulting in unaesthetic dark spots of several shape and size. Sun exposure is the number one cause of hyperpigmentation, as it’s sunlight that triggers the production of melanin in the first place. For this reason, the hyperpigmentation appears mainly on body parts that […]
Laboratorios Leti (Spain) exhibited the results of a study performed in collaboration with ISPE at the 45° National Congress of Dermatology and Venereology – Madrid on May 10-13, 2017. This study was about the in-vivo efficacy of a face serum on subjects with erytrosis, couperosis and/or rosacea (type I). The poster shows the positive results […]
Hair is an essential part of each person’s look. Hairstyle can tell much about our personality and even which part of our life we are in.

Researchers at MIT (Massachussets Institute of Technology) developed a polymer able to temporarily minimize the ageing signs (wrinkles and eye bags), improve skin hydration and protect from sun exposure. This elastic and transparent material, totally invisible once applied on the skin, is the result of a ten-year work of a team of biomedical engineers. The […]
