Topical Products

Topical products are substances or formulations that are applied directly to the surface of the skin. These products are designed to have a localized effect on the area where they are applied. Topical products come in various forms, and they are commonly used for medicinal, cosmetic, or therapeutic purposes.

We can conduct many types of studies on topical consumer and licensed products, under the supervision of our consultant dermatologist if required, including:

• Studies on skin, prone to eczema and atopy
• Anti-inflammatory products
• Barrier products
• Wound care, stoma care and other compromised skin products

Testing for topical products can be incredibly important as we need to ensure that the products do not cause further inflammation to already sensitive skin. 

The advantage of topical products is that they provide a targeted and localized effect, often with fewer systemic side effects compared to oral medications. The choice of a specific topical product depends on the intended purpose, the condition being addressed, and the individual's skin type and preferences.
