Committed to developing alternative testing methods, JRF Global offers a customized battery of Alternative tests for the cosmetic industry for both new ingredients and finished products.
JRF is fully committed to the principles of the 3Rs, - Replacement, Reduction and Refinement - of animal testing. These alternative methods serves to fully replace an animal test, to reduce the number of animals needed in a test, or to refine an animal testing procedure in order to reduce pain and suffering.
JRF offers these studies in accordance with the new legislation (i.e. Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and restriction of chemical regulation or cosmetics Regulation) requirements, in vitro alternatives for your product.
Alternative test methods use (reconstructed) tissues, whole cells or parts of cells. Recent advances in cell-based research include the development of two-dimensional and three-dimensional cell (co)-cultures which mimic very closely cells and tissues in the human body.
