CBD Efficacy Testing

Our CBD Gene Expression Panel was developed in order to provide a method for evaluating extracts, formulations and finished products. In an industry where products are appearing on shelves at a record pace, our testing offers the opportunity to differentiate, based on scientific evidence.

  • Determine the mechanism of action in the skin

  • Optimize the formulation to ensure maximum efficacy

  • Understand synergistic effects of active ingredients

Panel Development Methods

Affymetrix Microarray Screening
  • In vitro 3D skin tissues
  • 5-15 ug/mL CBD isolate dissolved in DMSO or TranscutolTM
  • 24 hour exposure
Bioinformatics
  • Statistical data analysis to compare the datasets
  • Literature review to filter the dataset to include genes relevant to skin biology
qPCR Validation
  • Repeat studies to ensure reproducibility

Biological Functions Represented in the CBD Panel

Genemarkers’ CBD panel was validated and can be run with either in vitro or ex vivo skin tissues.
