The collaboration responds to the cosmetics industry's increasing need for earlier and more cohesive safety evaluations of cosmetic ingredients. AsedaSciences will offer Eurosafe services through 3RnD, including assessments for skin permeation, dermal absorption, and skin sensitization potential. These services are tailored to support safe ingredient use decisions based on realistic exposure conditions.

One of the significant advantages of this partnership is the ability to integrate multiple datasets and non-animal methods within a single platform. This will help create a unified view of how cosmetic ingredients interact with biological systems, enhancing the safety assessment process.

Brad Calvin, CEO of AsedaSciences, emphasized that this collaboration adds valuable services pertinent to the cosmetics field, aiding in better decision-making based on comprehensive evidence. The integration of various datasets can streamline the process of designing safer chemicals without relying on animal testing.

Wepredic's role will extend to marketing the 3RnD platform in the specified European markets, leveraging its established connections in the cosmetics sector to promote the adoption of non-animal safety assessment methodologies.

Christophe Chesné, CEO of Wepredic, noted that incorporating Eurosafe services into 3RnD enables a centralized environment for clients to make better-informed decisions during early R&D phases.

Overall, this partnership represents progress toward AsedaSciences' goal of promoting safer chemical development through robust, data-driven methodologies free from animal testing.
