High-accuracy measurement of skin color

In the field of skin research and development, there is an increasing demand to measure the color and pigmentation of skin as it provides valuable information on a number of factors. For example, where cosmetics are concerned companies are aiming to make products that more closely match or complement the skin tone of clients. In pharmaceutical research and development, skin measurement can be used to determine the effects of suntanning on skin and in the prevention of sunburn.

The software provides important factors of skin data: color, melanin, hemoglobin and oxgen saturation. This software employs an original algorithm to separately calculate Melanin Index, Hb Index, and Hb SO₂ Index (%) based on the spectral reflectance data measured by a spectrophotometer, enabling highly accurate measurement of melanin pigmentation level of the skin without being affected by skin redness.
