Skin Tolerance Tests

Skin Tolerance Tests Explained

However carefully we formulate products there is always a possibility that someone will have a skin problem after use. Tolerance tests give us valuable information about a product’s potential for causing skin reactions and give reassurance about the safety of the product. Different tolerance tests have been developed to detect specific types of skin reaction.

There are tests for common problems such as skin irritancy and for less common problems such as facial stinging. The tests chosen will depend on the type of product and known history of the formulation. It may also be determined by regulatory requirements of the country where the product is to be sold.

If it is not clear which tests are needed for your products, selection of the most appropriate tests can be done through discussion with Cutest.
