Sensitive skin &

HypoSense®

More and more people have sensitive skin and are therefore dependent on products that are particularly kind to the skin. Claims such as “For sensitive skin” and “Hypoallergenic” are increasingly helping consumers to make purchasing decisions.

We have developed valid test designs for the cosmetics industry to test the compatibility and efficacy of such products: Our seal for Sensitive skin and our HypoSense® ensure worldwide safety for very sensitive skin and allergy sufferers. Consumers can therefore rely on our seals. Both tests stand for holistic, intensive testing of products and consumer goods. We only approve products for testing if their ingredients are suitable for sensitive skin. In addition, our team carry out both an epicutaneous test and a Safety-in-Use test.

Same testing method – new seal design

In a dynamic market, it is important to stay ahead. That’s why we are introducing our innovative “Consumer Line” seals. Through claims and corresponding visual elements, they provide direct information about what has been tested – for your customers, this means instant clarity.

Are you looking for an ethically safe alternative to HRIPT?

The trend among consumers towards hypoallergenic products is growing. We have therefore developed a new and unique test design, the HypoSense®, to offer a sound, ethically acceptable, meaningful alternative to the Human Repeat Insult Patch Test (HRIPT). The HRIPT carries a high, in our opinion unacceptable, risk of subjects developing allergies. In addition, this name hides numerous different test protocols and variants, so that there is no comparability for customers and consumers.

Our goal: To provide consumers with clearer information and to make labels such as “Hypoallergenic” and “Suitable for sensitive skin” more transparent and consumer-friendly. Let’s discuss how you can meet these needs. Take advantage of our special introductory offer for a personal consultation.

Same testing method – new seal design

Our consumer line for Sensitive skin & HypoSense®

Our seal for Sensitive skin stands for quick and well-founded testing. After the ingredient check, an epicutaneous test is carried out on at least 30 test subjects with sensitive skin and a Safety-in-Use test is carried out on 10 test subjects with sensitive skin over a period of one week with intensive exposure to the test product. After successful completion of the tests and evaluations, your product will receive our Dermatest® seal for sensitive skin.

Our HypoSense® checks your product even more intensively. Of course, an ingredient check is also carried out here first. This is followed by both an epicutaneous test and a Safety-in-Use test on 30 test subjects with sensitive skin. In addition, of these 30 test persons, 30% have neurodermatitis, 30% are allergic and 20% are asthmatic (only for Safety-in-Use testing). Another major advantage is that you can define and add more detailed inclusion criteria and efficacy analyses for the Safety-in-Use study. The Safety-in-Use study takes place for at least 4 weeks and a final epicutaneous test is included to additionally check the sensitization potential.
