HRIPT Hypoallergenic Test

The HRIPT test (human repeat insult patch test), which means human repetitive patch test, aims to determine the irritating or allergic harmful reactions of the skin. In general, all patch tests are the most reliable method of detecting factors that cause contact dermatitis (contact allergy).

These tests are carried out on volunteers within the framework of national and international standards, European Union directives and current legal regulations and under the supervision of dermatologists. These tests are sometimes applied on people with severe allergies or dry skin. In this context, in addition to the repetitive patch test (HRIPT), closed / semi-open patch test, open epidermal test, re-open application test, closed / half open patch test and hypoallergenic, open epidermal test and hypoallergen and other similar tests are also performed.

The main advantage of manufacturing companies having a human repetitive patch test (RIPT test) proves that the product to be offered to consumers has a formula that minimizes the risk of allergenic reactions or skin irritation for target consumers. In such products, the number of ingredients added to the formula is increasing, which naturally causes the formulas to be complex and the risk of exposure to allergens in consumers increases.

In this respect, verification of the potential irritation and allergy risks of these products before they are offered to consumers is a guarantee of safety. No formula can be completely risk free. However, research and development, formulation or marketing teams feel safe depends on these test results. On the other hand, removing risky components from the product formula creates customer satisfaction.

In fact, an advantage of HRIPT testing is that the test results allow it to support a variety of product claims, such as dermatologist tested, suitable for sensitive skin, clinically tested, or hypoallergenic (i.e. suitable for low allergy risk consumers).

In addition to these benefits, manufacturers have achieved a significant return on investment with this simple and fast test method before offering the product to consumers. An HRIPT report issued by developed laboratories proves the validity of product claims and product safety to authorities, business partners and consumers.

The main examples of products that can be HRIPT tested are: moisturizers, anti-aging creams, make-up, soaps, cleansers, laundry detergents and textiles.
