Human Repeat Insult Patch Test

Human Repeat Insult Patch Test – HRIPT/RIPT

It’s imperative that a human repeat insult patch test (HRIPT or RIPT test) is administered before launching a product that will come into contact with the skin. Whether you plan on producing cosmetics or personal care products, when operating in the field of skin care, product testing is a necessary part of the process.

CPT℠ is committed to both our clients and their consumers. By performing clinical trials, a repeat insult patch test can help determine any potential irritation or sensitization issues, minimizing the risk of potential reactions for the consumer and ensuring our clients’ success.

Using our specialized departments and well-respected lab facility, we test a wide range of products at CPT℠. Whether you want to remove chemicals of concern, reformulate your product, meet labeling requirements or achieve a specific result within a clinical trial, examples of products that can be subjected to a HRIPT test include, but are not limited, to:

  • Clinical — Efficacy trials can be performed for safety, consumer in-use, and to support claims such as ‘dermatologist-tested’ and ‘ophthalmologist-tested.’
  • In-Vitro Toxicology — Our In-Vitro Toxicology department assists clients when they are looking to perform non-animal (animal-free) toxicology testing.
  • Microbiology — Microbial contamination and preservative efficacy testing are key to cosmetic and OTC drug products.
  • Photobiology — From SPF and Water-Resistant claims to Photoallergy and Phototoxicity studies, CPT℠ is the world leader in sunscreen testing.
  • Analytical — From raw materials, product batch release, and stability shelf-life testing to “free-of” and low-level detection claims, our analytical department ensures that all requirements are met based on industry standards.
