MoistureMeterSC is an easy-to-use, fully portable and wireless skin hydration measurement instrument. Measuring skin hydration in the stratum corneum has never been easier. This skin moisture meter makes it simple to analyze skin hydration levels for cosmetic and skin research purposes.

Skin surface hydration is a function of two variables: moisture held in the stratum corneum and the thickness of the stratum corneum’s dry layer. The MoistureMeterSC uses a precise (1.25 MHz) electromagnetic field to measure the skin’s dielectric constant which takes both variables into account, giving more accurate results than other skin moisture detector devices.

Skin color measuring device

Erythema and melanin indices are indicators quantifying skin erythema and pigmentation. Effects of skin treatments and different skin care products, for example whitening products, on the skin can also be examined.The SkinColorCatch can be used in numerous applications of skin research, in service laboratories, in product development and claims substantiation within cosmetic and personal care industries and for promotion and marketing of skin care products.

You can find independent studies related to SkinColorCatch in our Publications section.

Skin moisture measurement principle

The measurement principle of the MoistureMeterSC is based on the layered capacitive structure of the skin. The capacitor plates are formed from the probe and the highly conductive epidermal layer while the dry layer of the stratum corneum acts as an insulator. The measurement depth of the MoistureMeterSC varies and is determined by the thickness of the stratum corneum’s dry layer.

This technique makes skin hydration measurements extremely sensitive and reproducible.
