DERMATOLOGICALLY TESTED

Laboratory Proofed Quality

Opis

The Dermatologically Tested seal is a confirmation of the safety of the tested product for the skin. It is awarded on the basis of the results of dermatologically-controlled patch tests performed on volunteers with normal or sensitive skin, using an open, closed or semi-open test, depending on the type of product tested. Dermatological tests (patch tests) are performed on the target final cosmetic formulation and are designed to detect contact allergies caused by cosmetics. In order to obtain a mark, tests are performed on at least 20 people and the result is the absence of observed irritation and allergic reactions.
