AMA Laboratories Inc., based in New City, New York is an independent commercial testing laboratory with over three decades of experience serving a wide variety of clients in the cosmetics, medical devices, automotive, and household products industries. In addition to, AMA Laboratories Inc. tests for claim substantiation. Claim substantiation in the cosmetics industry can be broken down into four essential rules. First and foremost, the claim needs to be established before the testing is designed. If claims are derived from test results, overreach may be a problem.
The second principle is to know the affected substrate before measuring the effects. Knowing which structures in the body will be affected is necessary to measure the reactions of a substance.
Third, intimate knowledge of the equipment used in testing the claims is essential. The use of incorrect equipment might result in a false claim.
Finally, to have statistically significant results and therefore prove that bio-physical change was measured, the study design must be clear and well-implemented. Quality laboratories have all these factors in mind when they design claim substantiation testing
