In Vitro Skin Testing
Services per OECD Standard

The cosmeceutical branch of Esco Aster offers a range of in vitro skin testing services in accordance with OECD guidelines to study and assess the safety of bioactive compounds intended for use in cosmeceuticals. We provide a range of safety tests, including those on skin sensitization, skin cytotoxicity, skin phototoxicity, eye irritation, and skin absorption before manufacturing. 

Safety Studies

Encapsulation and Formulation Services

Esco Aster's cosmeceutical division offers a variety of encapsulation and formulation services of active ingredients in the manufacturing processes for a better, physical, chemical stability and storage shelf-life of the active ingredients . 

This can be done utilizing internal methods and processes in the manufacturing stage, such as freeze-drying, ultrasonication, emulsion, and spray drying. The method used will rely on the kind of bioactive substances that need to be encapsulated in terms of their starting raw materials, surface charge, size, temperature sensitivity, as well as the ultimate desirable qualities that need to be obtained after encapsulation.

Outward Licensing and Partnership

Through partnerships, AsterCurone's outward licensing intends to offer a range of services. Esco Aster has two divisions: (1) Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy and (2) Cosmeceutical, which provide you with the potential for outside licensing and partnership in the fields of stem cell-derived regenerative medicine and cosmeceuticals and cosmetics manufacturing. 

We would combine lab supplies, equipment, raw materials, consumables, and the initial setup and processes needed in the preparation stage of your production and cosmetics manufacturing facility under a licensing fee and subscription business model. Additionally, we would arrange for the training of your staff members and medical professionals as well as the protocols, quality control, and site master file. Last but not least, we would assist you with business and marketing tools, such as putting up a portfolio for your private label brand and business among other things, and keep you up to date on current developments in the cosmetics industry, including cosmetic manufacturing protocols, publications, and information.
