Institutional Review Board
At Haute Health Beauty Labs®, ethical excellence is the cornerstone of every cosmetic clinical trial we conduct. As a premier FDA-registered cosmetic testing laboratory, we partner with an independent Institutional Review Board (IRB) to provide rigorous ethical oversight for all human subject research. This ensures that every protocol is reviewed for participant safety, informed consent, data protection, and compliance with both domestic and international regulations governing clinical research. Unlike many cosmetic testing facilities, we go beyond industry minimums by adhering to the full framework of Good Clinical Practice, positioning our trials for scientific publication and regulatory approval while safeguarding the rights of participants. Our IRB-approved studies reflect the highest ethical and scientific standards, enabling luxury beauty brands to validate product claims with confidence and integrity. This commitment to IRB governance not only elevates the credibility of our cosmetic clinical studies but also enhances your brand’s consumer trust, global market readiness, and long-term scientific legacy. With Haute Health Beauty Labs, clients can be assured that their clinical testing meets the highest standards of ethics, transparency, and research excellence.
