A consumer perception study is significantly less scientific than a clinical study. A perception study has the goal of "just" creating claims.

It's still a robust study, but just for the sake of making claims that are based on data. Perception studies typically include participants that are generally healthy.

They don't screen for specific inclusion and exclusion criteria except for age and some high-level concerns that participants have - e. fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, thinning hair, etc.

Perception studies typically don't have a comprehensive baseline questionnaire many don't have a baseline questionnaire , because the goal is to make claims.

The study check-ins typically just 1 or 2 have questions that are targeting claims. For example: "do you agree that the product reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles? Companies opt for a clinical study because they want statistical analysis, they want to publish their report somewhere, or they want to be taken more seriously by the medical community.

Typically supplement brands and more sophisticated skincare brands opt for clinical studies, because then they can include biomarkers or skin markers. Additionally, clients can include study-specific questionnaires similar to perception studies , to help make their claims, but they can also add validated questionnaires to the mix.

Questionnaires for clinical studies are typically around 40 questions. Typically, clinical studies get IRB approved perception studies don't. And clinical studies can also come in the forms of randomized-controlled studies, while perception studies are usually single arm.

We intentionally formulated Three Milk to be your classic go-to, holy grail moisturize, that has you seeing your best version of yourself, at the best value for your dollar. If the option to grow an ingredient on our own farm or to source it from within the US is possible, then that's exactly what we choose to do.

Years ago we drew a line across a map of the U. Keeping the supply chain tight and close to our chest reduces carbon emissions and helps ensure the quality of ingredients, including the nutrients within them.

The ingredients in our commercial greenhouse are grown fresh and harvested every 7 days. Our US suppliers are similar, harvesting and creating their ingredients and delivering them fresh. The secret to providing products like Three Milk that do exactly as they're advertised is to grow as many ingredients as possible ourselves, and to source everything else from local farms and suppliers.

At the end of the year, what we care about most isn't revenue. And it's not how many products we sold. Profits from FarmHouse Fresh purchases help fund, rescue, and rehabilitate abused animals that our employees help care for at the FarmHouse Fresh Sanctuary in McKinney, Texas.

This is our formula for success: potent, rapidly transforming products mean happier customers, and happier customers mean more animals saved.

But potent, rapidly transforming products can't be spoken into existence. Close menu. Curated Shop. GIFT GUIDE. BEST SELLERS. IN SEASON. EDITOR FAVES. FHF x Smurfs Collab Harvest Your Gleam Acne Super Soothers The Great Awake Hi-Bio® Hemp Organics. JUST HARVESTED SHOP LOOKBOOK.
