The Future of Skin Analysis
Loretta gives you access to the nanometric scale through unique technologies, revealing skin texture with the highest precision, for all your analysis and research needs.
Unmatched Precision. Unrivaled Speed. Scientifically Proven Results.
Our Expertise
The Loretta team brings its unique knowledge of skin nanotexture to you. With years of research and thousands of samples analyzed by our specialists, we offer the best of AFM-based analysis.
Product Application Tests
Our experts in Atomic Force Microscopy and Cosmetic Chemistry analyze how corneocytes evolve after skincare product application, delivering results useful for claim substantiation.
Skin Analysis
Beyond the cosmetic world, our expertise allows us to analyze any part of the human epidermis, regardless of skin tone or health condition.
AFM Research
Our unique technology and R&D specialists are available for any innovative project: hair analysis, animal skin nanotexture, or any other biological AFM imaging test.
Our Story
Loretta is a young French-Danish start-up, born from the encounter between a professor and a PhD student with a shared entrepreneurial spirit—and above all, a common desire: to make skin science more precise, more accessible, and more human.
Our passionate team embarked on this journey to support and improve the cosmetic industry—but also to fight against the skin diseases that have affected our loved ones.
In a short time, we’ve succeeded: within less than a year, major French cosmetic companies adopted our services, and we proved our value through prestigious competitions like the Cosmetic Victories.
Loretta is a story of innovation, determination, and hard work—driving us to push research and client experience ever further.
Loretta’s Tech
Our expertise is built directly upon the use of innovative and world-unique technologies, specifically designed for skin nanotexture analysis. Developed over eight years of research, these patented technologies were designed by Loretta’s co-founders and are continuously improved to deliver ever-higher service quality.
The HS-DAFM
The High-Speed Dermal Atomic Force Microscope (HS-DAFM) is at the core of our innovations. Miniaturized, accelerated, and specialized for skin analysis, this system scans the surface of skin cells in just a few seconds—compared to several hours for a typical AFM. It maintains the advantages of traditional models (such as one-million-fold magnification and 3D sample imaging) while overcoming their slowness and bulkiness.
The You Only Look Once Artificial Intelligence
Trained on over 15,000 images, the AI used by Loretta transforms difficult-to-interpret nanotexture scans into numerical data that enhance image analysis and study readability. Its powerful neural network enables real-time data processing to assist our analysts in their measurements.
Sampling with D-Squame®
D-Squame® is a widely recognized, non-invasive sampling method that collects corneocytes using a simple adhesive strip. By integrating this method, Loretta enables easy protocol implementation in clinical trials, comfort for test subjects, and shipping without refrigeration.
