Sensitive skin product testing
Ensuring safety for all skin sensitivity types
Essential analytical testing
Analytical testing ensures products are free from allergens, preservatives, impurities, and heavy metals that could cause harm or discomfort.
Robust in vivo testing
In vivo tests on sensitive skin include safety (HRIPT, ROAT), efficacy, and sensory analysis to support "safe for sensitive skin" claims.
Novel ex vivo testing
Our Nerveskin model uses human sensory neurons to simulate sensitive skin, enabling effective testing of soothing cosmetics for irritation relief.
What is sensitive skin?
Sensitive skin is characterised by sensations of discomfort such as tingling, burning, pain, pruritus, or pins and needles in response to stimuli that would not normally cause such reactions. Ensuring the safety and efficacy of cosmetic products for sensitive skin is crucial, as these products must meet specific regulatory criteria and consumer expectations for hypoallergenic and other claims.
