DERMATEST

The human skin is the largest and functionally most versatile human organ.
These days a lot of products, in particular cosmetics, consumer goods and medical devices, are in contact with the skin daily and often over long periods.
Since alternative test methods such as animal testing are prohibited and results of cell culture experiments can be applied to humans only in limited extent, tests under medical supervision are currently required from an ethical and scientific point of view.

The aim of this epicutaneous testing was to test the product for skin tolerability. The assessment of skin tolerability was carried out via dermatological examinations. An open, uncontrolled, monocentric test took place over a period of 24 hours with subsequent observation (up to 72 hours).
All persons had a sensitive skin type.
