Clinical Testing & Dermatological Approval

In our skincare products, we use specific, evidence-based testing protocols to assess skin compatibility and substantiate cosmetic claims.

The language we use reflects the scope and outcome of that testing - clearly and accurately.

DISTINCTIONS WITH A DIFFERENCE

Understanding the Terminology

Dermatologically tested: Indicates that a product has undergone formal skin testing on human volunteers under dermatological supervision.

Dermatologically approved: Means a qualified dermatologist has reviewed the results of that testing and confirmed suitability for use based on the data generated.

Clinically tested: Refers to controlled studies carried out to substantiate cosmetic claims using objective measurement methods.

These terms are not interchangeable, and we use them only where supported by formal evaluation.

WHAT WE TEST FOR

96-Hour Dermatological Patch Testing

All skincare formulations undergo a 96-hour dermatological patch test on human volunteers.

This testing is carried out under dermatological supervision by independent, accredited third-party laboratories.

The assessment is designed to evaluate:

  • Skin tolerance
  • Potential for irritation or sensitisation
  • Overall compatibility with repeated exposure

The results of this testing are reviewed by a qualified dermatologist, who confirms whether the product is suitable for use on human skin.

RIGOROUS ADHERENCE TO COMPLIANCE

Claims Substantiation & Clinical Evaluation

Where cosmetic claims are made, these are supported by existing structured clinical or instrumental studies.

Before any claim is used, we undertake thorough research to ensure it is:

  • Relevant to the formulation
  • Supported by appropriate research

OUR APPROACH

Why This Matters

Many skincare brands use testing language without clearly explaining what it means or how it was achieved.

We take a more considered approach. We use precise language because we believe trust is built through clarity, not exaggeration.

Our testing is conducted in accordance with UK and EU cosmetic regulations.

This means you can choose our products knowing that:

  • Skin compatibility has been properly evaluated
  • Claims are supported by evidence, not assumption
  • Care has been taken at every stage before launch
