Courage + Khazaka develop innovative tools for R&D

30-Mar-2017

For more than 30 years, the German company Courage + Khazaka electronic have been developing skin and hair testing devices for the global market. Explore this year’s instrument in focus at in-cosmetics booth DD19.

The MoistureMap MM 100 is a device, featuring a capacitance based sensor comparable to the renowned L‘Oreal SkinChip*. The sensor gives graphical information on the near surface hydration distribution and the micro-topography of skin and other tissues (textiles, plants, etc.).

Perfect addition to the quantitative measurement, as it shows the distribution of the water on the skin surface.

Evenness of the hydration is displayed in 5 different colours and a histogram.
Video possible (.avi)
In-vivo skin measurement and also in-vitro application can be performed.
Additionally topographic measurements (profile, corner density, anisotropy index) give interesting ageing parameters.

The only instrument working side by side with the established Corneometer and Tewameter

*The MoistureMap MM 100 is licenced worldwide under the L‘Oréal patent for the Skin Chip (EP 1 438 922 B1). A variety of articles on the measurement principle of the Skin Chip (same as MoistureMap) has been published.
