info center: sense and sensitivity
A skin patch test is a simple method that can be used to test whether or not you may have sensitivity to a substance.
We suggest that new customers, especially those who have known sensitivities, allergies or immune system health problems use this technique when first using any new product and it’s ingredients for the first time.
Method
- Place a few drops of the product onto a band-aid and affix to skin of the inner forearm
- Leave band-aid in place for 24 hours, then remove and check for any reactions. Avoid getting band-aid wet during this period
- If redness, itching, blistering or soreness has developed in the area covered by the band-aid patch, it is possible that you are sensitive to or have an allergy to the product or to some ingredient in the product
- Wash the affected area in cold running water for 3 minutes, do not scrub the area
- DO NOT USE THE PRODUCT ON YOUR SKIN
- If there is no reaction the product is suitable for you to use
- If redness, itching, blistering, soreness or some other symptoms persist or worsen after washing the affected area seek medical advice immediately
