DERMATOLOGICALLY TESTED SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER

There’s nothing like that feeling when you’re having a great hair day. But with the constant stream of haircare information in your feeds these days, it can be tough to figure out what products are going to be best for your specific hair needs. We’ve got you covered – explaining what dermatologically tested haircare means and why these products can help you on your way to more great hair days.

What is dermatologically tested haircare?

Before we get into the nitty gritty of how and why, lets back up and talk about what the term ‘dermatologically tested’ means. Dermatological testing is performed on cosmetic products such as haircare to see whether it causes irritation or reactions when it’s applied to the skin of a person. Dermatological testing for shampoos and conditioners is often done using something called ‘patch testing’, where the product is applied to just a small section of skin to look for any signs of irritation or reaction.

What are the benefits of dermatologically tested shampoo and conditioner?

In Australia, ingredients in cosmetic products are assessed for safety by a specific government department. There are also strict rules that state all ingredients in a cosmetic product must be listed on the label. But when it comes to the actual shampoos and conditioners, dermatological testing helps to show whether all those ingredients combined together in that particular final product may or may not cause a reaction for people who use them.

Why use dermatologically tested haircare?

So, what factors might be important when looking for haircare products to meet the needs of your hair and scalp?

Skin protection

When you choose a shampoo or conditioner that has been dermatologically tested, you know it has undergone assessment in its final form to show that it is unlikely to cause skin irritation or an allergic reaction. While there is no guarantee how your skin may react to any new product, choosing dermatologically tested haircare can help minimise your risk of irritation or reactions – helping you take care of your scalp even if it’s feeling a bit sensitive!

Haircare to suit different types of hair and hair needs

In addition to patch testing, haircare products may be assessed on how well they take care of certain hair and scalp concerns. These assessments usually involve people answering specific questions about what the product did and how well they felt it worked. In this way, you can understand which shampoos and conditioners can help effectively address your specific hair and scalp needs.
