What is RIPT/HRIPT testing?Updated 2 hours ago

RIPT testing (Repeat Insult Patch Test), also known as HRIPT testing (Human Repeat Insult Patch Test), assesses a product's potential to cause skin irritation and allergic reactions after repeated exposure. It’s conducted by a third-party independent lab. 

RIPT testing supports claims like: “clinically tested,” "Dermatologist tested,” “non-irritating,” “did not cause irritation or sensitization in a clinical test,” or “non-sensitizing.”

RIPT testing with self-perceived sensitive skin subjects, in addition to this, supports the following claims: “hypoallergenic,” “suitable for sensitive skin,” and "clinically tested to be gentle on all skin types, including sensitive skin.”

Important: Please note that not every product was tested on sensitive skin. Please refer to each product’s individual FAQ to see if that product was tested on sensitive skin.
