Hair Dye Sensitization Test

Overview

Hair dyes are commonly used in the beauty industry to change or enhance the color of hair. However, some people may have allergic or sensitizing reactions to the ingredients in hair dye formulations. These reactions range from mild irritation to severe allergic reactions. Performing sensitization tests is essential to assess the potential allergenicity of hair dye products and to reduce the risk of their use. Our dedicated team of experts specializes in conducting thorough sensitization tests to ensure that hair dyes are safe for use and do not cause adverse reactions. With our advanced testing methodologies, we aim to assist companies in formulating hair dye products that are not only effective but also prioritize consumer well-being.

Solutions

• Patch testing

The patch testing is a commonly used method to assess the potential sensitization or allergic reaction to hair dye ingredients. A small patch of the test substance is applied to the skin for a specific period of time. The skin is then monitored for any signs of irritation or allergic reaction. The test helps to identify specific sensitizing or irritating substances that may be present in the hair dye formulation.

• In Vitro Sensitization Testing

In addition to patch testing, in vitro sensitization testing can also be performed. This involves testing hair dye ingredients or formulations on human immune cells or cell lines to assess their potential to trigger an allergic reaction. This testing method provides valuable information to understand the allergenicity of a hair dye product and can support the formulation process by selecting or eliminating certain ingredients based on their likelihood of causing allergies.

Deliverables

Service Process

• Sample Preparation

If you provide us with a hair color formulation, our experienced professionals will prepare the sample according to the testing protocol. This includes ensuring proper ingredient ratios, emulsifying or mixing the formulation, and preparing the sample in a format suitable for testing.

• Sensitization Testing

We perform sensitization testing using selected methods such as patch testing or in vitro sensitization testing. In patch testing, small patches of the hair color formulation are applied to the skin for a certain period of time. The skin is then monitored for any signs of irritation or allergic reaction. In in vitro testing, we expose immune cells or cell lines to the hair dye ingredient or formulation and monitor the immune response.
