Become a volunteer

Join our panel of volunteers and test tomorrow’s suncare products while receiving compensation.

WENEOS is the center of expertise for sun protection evaluation of cosmetic products worldwide. For over 25 years, we have been working with national and international regulatory bodies to develop ever more reliable methods.

Our clinical studies offer you the possibility of compensation, calculated according to specific requirements and proportional to your commitment. Each study is carefully supervised by our team of qualified professionals and carried out in compliance with current standards. This clinical research takes place during the final phase of product development, when the claimed effects must be demonstrated. We guarantee that our products contain only ingredients that comply with legal and regulatory requirements.

By becoming a member of our volunteer panel, you’ll play a key role in photoprotection innovation, while benefiting from a rewarding experience and fair remuneration. Your participation is crucial to ensuring the safety and efficacy of tomorrow’s suncare products. Together, let’s advance science and protect consumers’ skin.

Criteria

Subjects, aged between 18 and 70, must have fairly fair skin on their backs and must not have been exposed to the sun for at least 1 month.

The test is performed on several areas of the back, between the shoulder blades and the waist, with the subject lying flat on his or her stomach.

These areas must be free of hair and skin imperfections (moles, freckles, brown spots, tattoos, scars or acne).

Economical

Compensation, calculated on the basis of attendance time, will be received 3 to 4 weeks after the end of the study.

Security

Handling is carried out by qualified personnel. Our experts are on hand to answer any questions you may have.

Preliminary tests have been carried out on these products to limit the risk of reactions. Rare possible effects include temporary irritation such as tingling, itching or redness.

 

Photoprotection

WENEOS undertakes only to carry out tests in accordance with its ethical policy.

We use a method (ISO 23698) that requires no exposure of volunteers to UV rays.
