Dermatological Safety

Meaning

Dermatological Safety refers to the rigorous clinical and toxicological assessment of a product’s potential to cause adverse reactions when applied to or interacting with the skin. This assessment is a non-negotiable step in the development of topical hormonal creams, transdermal patches, or cosmeceuticals. It ensures the formulation is non-irritating, non-sensitizing, and non-phototoxic under normal conditions of use. Achieving dermatological safety is essential to prevent localized inflammation that could compromise the skin barrier and potentially alter systemic absorption of a hormonal compound.
