Princeton Consumer’s US Expansion Hits The News
Princeton Consumer Research Corp is moving into the East Coast after seeing an increase in opportunities based on cosmetics sales in that region, last year.
The company plans to open the 7500sf Princeton Consumer Research Centre in New Jersey which is set to feature what the brand describes as one of biggest state-of-the-art ‘hot room’ facilities on the globe.
The centre is the second US unit operated by Princeton, the first being on the West Coast in Santa Monica, which will close around October time so that US operations will all be based in Princeton.
Princeton Consumer is moving location as it reports the market in the East Coast to have seen an enormous increase in sales over the past 12 months, from companies based predominantly there.
The facility will primarily test antiperspirants and deodrants, along with a full service hair salon, bio-instrumentation room and dedicated clinical rooms that can switch between 30 subject patch tests, to 250 subject trials.
According to Kerry Gibbs, director of global business development: “We are thrilled with the new site, we will be one of the largest independently owned research facilities on the East Coast and we look forward to welcoming clients old and new to tour the facility once it’s fully open.”
US cosmetics sales on the rise
According to figures from market researcher Kline, total US cosmetics sales exceeded $41 billion at the manufacturers’ level in 2013 up 2.4% from the previous year.
Hair care and oral care are still contributing to overall market growth, but the analyst suggests that it is make-up that is producing one of the strongest performances, although there are still difficulties.
The market researcher also predicts that due to the continued growth in critical markets and product classes, the cosmetics market will see renewed growth long into the future, as brands adapt to the ever-changing needs of the consumer.
“Although economic instability has inhibited the industry in recent years, the improving global economy will ameliorate the faults of years past,” says an analyst blog.
“Alongside such renewed economic confidence, the innovations to products and growing multi-purpose functionality will only be beneficial to the industry for the foreseeable future.”

Princeton Consumer Conducts Clinical Trial For Seven Seas Botanical Nutri.4 Formula
Botanical Nutri.4 Formula: The science
The Botanical Nutri.4 Formula is an expert blend of grape seed extract, lutein, bilberry extract and green tea oil shown in research to reduce the appearance of fine lines and support skin elasticity.
In addition to the Botanical Nutri.4 Formula, ilumina capsules also contain tailored combinations of vitamins and minerals expertly developed to contribute to the maintenance of healthy skin, hair and nails.
The Clinical Study
In order to quantify the beneficial effects of the Botanical Nutri.4 Formula contained within ilumina, the independent Clinical Research Organisation Princeton Consumer Research was commissioned to conduct a randomised, blinded, placebo-controlled trial. The study conformed to the Declaration of Helsinki and its subsequent amendments regarding ethical principles for medical research involving human subjects.
The study was conducted over a 12 week period and included volunteers aged between 40 and 70 years. Thirty volunteers took a placebo while 30 received two capsules containing the Botanical Nutri.4 Formula.
Objective measures were taken by the study clinical staff at the start of the study, after 8 weeks and following completion of the 12 week trial. These included accurate measurement of the depth of the “crow’s feet” fine lines and the measurement of skin elasticity.
Statistically significant improvements in the following objective measures were found when the Botanical Nutri.4 Formula was taken daily over a 12 week period:
· Significant reduction in Fine Line depth
· Increase in Skin elasticity
Placebo Control Botanical Nutri.4 Formula
• Highly significant reduction in fine lines (p<0.001) at study Weeks 8 and 12 for the subjects treated with the active capsules.
>• Fine lines were reduced by an average of 2.07% after 8 weeks> of treatment and 5.88% after 12 weeks of treatment.
What this means?
This shows that in a mixed group of adults Botanical Nutri.4 can bring improvements in skin elasticity and that these results can be seen after a 12 week period. This is an encouraging result as it seems likely that even greater results may be seen over a longer period of time. Of course the results will vary greatly between individuals, and will be determined by their age, the level of preexisting sun damage, skin type and their diet.
