How to patch test a new product

By OVEDAA Team · 18 Sept 2026 · 3 min read

Natural does not mean everyone will tolerate every ingredient. A patch test helps you spot a reaction on a small area before you use a product more widely.

Steps

  • Prepare a small amount of the product as directed
  • Apply to a small area, such as the inner forearm or behind the ear
  • Leave for the time shown in the directions, then rinse
  • Wait and watch the area for a day or as the pack advises

If you notice a reaction

Rinse the area, stop using the product and speak to a doctor or pharmacist if the reaction is severe or persists.
