At Chromak Research, we provide specialized patch testing for cosmetics and personal care products to help brands ensure their formulations are safe, gentle, and well-tolerated by consumers. More skin sensitizations and allergies arise daily, making it very critical to determine whether your products are suitable for all types of skin- sensitive skin, and allergy-prone skin, before making them available to the public.

Why Patch Testing is Critical for Cosmetics

Patch testing is a conventional technique employed for the evaluation of the skin compatibility of personal care and cosmetic products. It is a procedure whereby a small quantity of product is placed on the skin under controlled circumstances and observes the skin for any untoward reaction, including redness, irritation, or allergic reaction.

Cosmetic safety standards and regulatory bodies around the globe highlight skin compatibility testing as a key criterion to ensure consumer protection as well as to substantiate claims such as “dermatologically tested,” “sensitive skin safe,” or “hypoallergenic.” Performing rigorous patch testing of cosmetics not only satisfies regulatory requirements but also reinforces confidence in your brand among consumers.

What Chromak Research Offers

In Chromak Research, our cosmetic and personal care product patch testing is designed to provide reproducible, repeat results. Our procedure usually includes:

Controlled application

Application of the test product on a limited skin surface, usually under occlusion, for a short time.

Observation time

Observation of the skin for redness, irritation, swelling, or allergic response within 24, 48, and 72 hours.

Detailed reporting

All observations, expert interpretation of any measurement or observed skin changes.

We tailor patch testing protocols to suit different kinds of products—lotion, cream, serum, make-up, hair care, or fragrance. It facilitates demonstrating your product is well tolerated when it’s applied under normal use conditions.
