Dermatological testing evaluates the safety and efficacy of cosmetic products on human skin, ensuring no adverse reactions occur. If you want to use “Dermatologically tested.” And / or “Suitable for all skin types” marketing lines for your products, the patch test allows you to use those claims. Patch testing is performed on 10 to 30 volunteers of normal or sensitive skin types.

Regulatory Requirements

While not always mandatory, dermatological testing is vital for consumer safety and is encouraged by various international guidelines.

Standards and Test Methods

Tests often adhere to ISO 10993 regulations for biocompatibility, employing clinical trials or patch tests to observe any dermatological reaction.
