Accurate sebum meter

SebumScale measures the amount of sebum (skin oil) on the skin surface in absolute units (µg/cm²). Unlike traditional devices that rely on arbitrary scales, it provides precise and objective data on sebum secretion, making it a reliable sebum measurement device for dermatology, cosmetic testing, and clinical research.

SebumScale uses a sensitive quartz crystal sensor combined with microbalance technology to detect very small changes in mass caused by sebum collected from the skin. The measurement takes only a few seconds and requires minimal skin contact, providing fast and non-invasive skin oil measurement without disrupting the skin surface.

SebumScale is widely used in dermatology, cosmetic testing, and clinical research. It supports studies related to oily skin, acne, and sebaceous gland activity, as well as evaluation of skincare products such as cleansers and sebum-control formulations.

It can also be used alongside other skin measurement devices, such as hydration measurement devices or barrier assessment tools like VapoMeter® (VX), to provide a more comprehensive understanding of skin condition.

Traditional sebum meters often provide results based on relative or arbitrary values, which can limit comparability between studies. SebumScale uses advanced microbalance technology to measure sebum in absolute units (µg/cm²), enabling more accurate and reproducible results. This makes it a preferred sebumeter for research environments where standardized data is essential.

This depends largely on what skin properties you are measuring. SebumScale is the right choice when the goal is to quantify skin oil accurately rather than assess hydration, elasticity, or barrier function. If your focus is on sebum production, oily skin analysis, or product efficacy related to oil control, it provides the most relevant data.

For complementary insights, it can be combined with various devices. For example for hydration measurements see MoistureMeterSC or MoistureMeterEpiD. For elasticity measurements see ElastiMeter. Or for skin gloss measurements see SkinGlossMeter to build a complete skin profile.
