Combo Test: HRIPT & CONSUMER USE TEST

STUDY 1: HRIPT

HRIPT (Human Repeat Insult Patch Test) is a commonly used method within the industry that determines the irritation and allergic contact sensitization potential of a product. The test is conducted under the supervision of a dermatologist who signs each report. Pending the results of the study, claims related to “hypo-allergenic,” “dermatologist tested” and “non-irritating” can be made on the product label. This is an industry recognized test and follows the GCP guidelines.

Number of Participants: 50

Study Duration: 6 weeks

Number of Participants: 30

Possible study duration: 1 day, 14 days or 28 days.
