Baby Care No Tears
The “No Tear Drops” claim on personal care products, particularly baby shampoos and cleansers, signifies a formulation designed to be exceptionally gentle on the eyes, reducing the likelihood of irritation or stinging if the product accidentally comes into contact with them. This claim is backed by rigorous testing to ensure that the product meets safety standards, providing peace of mind to consumers, especially parents, who prioritize the comfort and well-being of their children. By emphasizing mildness, the “No Tear Drops” label differentiates the product in a competitive market, appealing to those seeking gentle, safe options for sensitive skin.

Scientific Driven with our Technology:
Using our expertise in immunology and cell culture, we develop immunoassays based on ELISA principle. Using cutting edge tools like 3D tissues (some of which are OECD approved for skin / cornea irritation), we bring the human experimentation into the labs. Curating a list of research publications, we have developed a platform to test products for their biomarkers mimicking the human model to generate data to back our label claims.
