The Animal Biotechnology Laboratory has been actively involved in in-vitro Safety Testing for various Cosmetic Ingredients and Actives as an Alternative to Animal Testing. We follow ECVAM and OECD Guidelines to address concerns on unnecessary and unethical Animal Experimentation. The Laboratory is equipped with State-of-the Art Facility.
Third Party Testing comprising Safety and Efficacy Studies ensures that your Interests are Protected.
