About Skin Essenz
Skin Essenz Private Limited has been incorporated with the primary objective of providing latest and advanced scientific instruments for testing, research and development (R&D) needs. We have been associated with Courage + Khazaka Gmbh as their sole authorised agents for India.
A Close Look at the Skin Essenz Private Limited – Courage + Khazaka electronic has been the world market leader in producing skin testing equipment for more than 35 years. The devices measure the whole range of parameters (sebum, moisture, pH, TEWL, elasticity, melanin, roughness, gloss and others) and the scientific instruments have become world standard in objective clinical diagnosis for dermatology and in the R&D departments of the cosmetic / pharmaceutical / raw material companies and the independent testing laboratories doing efficacy testing and claim support.
We also pride in our instruments which determine skin type at point of sale for promotion of our clients products and brands.
We operate with a team of highly motivated and dedicated professionals driven with complete focus on customer satisfaction. We provide services related to technical application, technical recommendation product knowledge, training and development to enhance our customers experience and their business needs.
Our customers comprise of all leading Cosmetic manufacturers, Marketers, CRO’s, gov-ernment agencies, universities, private colleges, independent researchers, R&D centres, testing laboratories and others.
The Company Founded in 1986, by Mr. Wilfried Courage and Prof. h.c. Gabriel Khazaka, Courage + Khazaka electronic GmbH introduced the first scientific measurement tools to objectively quantify parameters on the skin. Until today we have always been the world market leader in this field. Nobody else offers such a complete range of measurement parameters. Even after more than 35 years, we are still a family-owned company and are dedicated to constantly developing new parameters for skin & hair. Every year, C+K products are delivered in more than 70 countries around the globe.
In general, C+K offers two ranges of products, the scientific skin testing systems and the instruments to determine the skin type for cosmetic consulting.
Use in the scientific field
The devices are worldwide used as standard equipment:
- in R&D departments of cosmetic/pharmaceutical/raw material companies to do efficacy testing and claim support. Due to their user-friendliness and reasonable prices the instruments are not only used by large international companies but also by smaller and medium sized cosmetic companies to test their products at each stage of the development.
- in independent CROs & testing laboratories
- in dermatological basic research
- occupational health has found that besides tests of other body organs and functions (e.g. lung, ears, eyes, etc.) measuring the skin is a useful way of predicting where the skin is at risk in the working environment and thus preventing skin diseases among workers. Using skin testing equipment also has an educational effect (to show the necessity of using skin care and protection products).
- Of course there are many other industries (e.g. food/food supplement industry, textile industry, etc.) and medical disciplines for basic research (e.g. gynecology, plastic surgery, burns and wound healing, veterinary medicine, ophthalmology, etc.) interested in the measurements of skin’s physiology.
- Even in space skin physiological tests were performed with the C+K devices on board of the International Space Station (ISS).
- Study by DermaTronnier, instruments verified for space by KayserThrede GmbH on behalf of the DLR space travel management
