%X Colombia  has  a  wide  array  of  cosmetics  with  various  claims  which  are  not 
supported  by  efficacy  studies  to  prove  their  effectiveness. 
To  help  address  these 
shortcomings,  in  this  project  we  designed  a  protocol  to  evaluate  the  moisturizing 
effect  of  cosmetic  matrices  that  can  be  validated  to  support  the  claims  of 
moisturizing products for body care.
Research   was   done   in   three   stages.   In   th
e  first   stage   the   conditions   and 
parameters that influence in the 
hydra
tion of the basal strata of the skin following a 
bibliographic review and pilot preliminary studies. In the second stage we designed 
and  elaborated  the  protocol  which  has  in  detail  all 
necessary  conditions  for  its 
execution and  which  was  approved  by  the 
Hu
man  Research  Ethics  Committee 
of 
the Universidad Icesi.
In the third stage this protocol was implemented to evaluate 
the   efficacy   of   a   moisturizer   cream.   The   protocol   was   designed   usin
