Source: https://cosmetic-labs.com/services/clinical/claims Created: 2026-05-27T17:43:57+00:00 Modified: 2026-10-25T11:30:23+00:00 Claims Substantiation | Cosmetic Labs ## What is Claims Substantiation? Plan supporting evidence, organise results and review marketing claims. Claims substantiation connects cosmetic benefit statements with appropriate evidence and review. This category covers study design, scientific literature assessment, evidence dossiers, advertising claim review and marketing-content review, with each service addressing a different part of the same evidence-to-communication process. ### Why do you need this service? Claims substantiation links evidence planning, study records and marketing review to the proposed statement. Revisit wording as evidence changes, rather than treating the process as a fixed route to universal claim approval. ### Who provides Claims Substantiation services? 1 company profiles linked to this service or its subservices.

[See company profile](https://cosmetic-labs.com/world/europe/france/ephyla) Definition ## Cosmetic claims substantiation A cosmetic claim should reflect evidence relevant to the product, intended use and target market. The process is iterative: proposed wording informs research, results may narrow the wording, and campaign changes can require further review. ### Plan the evidence [Claims evidence planning](https://cosmetic-labs.com/services/clinical/claims/claims-evidence-planning) includes critical literature assessment and study design. It identifies what existing evidence supports and where primary research is needed. Testing execution requires an agreed scope and cannot promise a favourable outcome. ### Document the support [Study evidence documentation](https://cosmetic-labs.com/services/clinical/claims/study-evidence-documentation) links claims to the relevant reports, references, methods and limitations. It creates traceability without inventing missing data or making ingredient findings equivalent to finished-product performance. ### Review marketing claims [Marketing claims review](https://cosmetic-labs.com/services/clinical/claims/marketing-claims-review) considers benefit statements and their overall presentation against evidence, product classification and applicable rules. Review can be needed before launch and after changes to packaging, campaigns or social content. Laboratory mechanisms, consumer perceptions and human efficacy measurements answer different questions. Wording must remain proportionate to the evidence rather than passing through a fixed sequence to universal claim approval. ## 3 subcategories of Claims Substantiation services [Claims Evidence Planning](https://cosmetic-labs.com/services/clinical/claims/claims-evidence-planning) Identify the evidence needed for your claims. [Study Evidence Documentation](https://cosmetic-labs.com/services/clinical/claims/study-evidence-documentation) Organise and report your study evidence. [Marketing Claims Review](https://cosmetic-labs.com/services/clinical/claims/marketing-claims-review) Review how your cosmetic claims are communicated. Applications ## Identify the evidence gap Claims evidence planning reviews relevant publications and designs studies where product-specific data are missing. Match the model, endpoint, population and conditions to the statement. Laboratory mechanisms, consumer perceptions and human instrumental outcomes provide different levels of support. Study evidence documentation links each statement to the appropriate reports, methods and limitations. It organises the evidence but cannot turn ingredient-level research into proof of finished-product performance. Marketing claims review examines wording and overall presentation against the available evidence and target-market rules. It is relevant before publication and after campaign changes, not only after launch. Research execution is separately commissioned, and neither documentation nor review creates missing data.
