At AlbiGlow, we’ve said from the start that our commitment to science-backed, safe, and effective haircare isn’t just a slogan; it’s our standard. Today, we’re proud to share a significant milestone in that journey: DRIP, our flagship leave-in hydration treatment, has officially earned a Non-Irritant classification and the right to claim Dermatologist Tested status.
This achievement isn’t just a label. It’s proof that our product has gone through rigorous, independent testing to ensure it’s as gentle as it is effective. Here’s what that process looked like and why it matters for every head of hair we touch.
The Testing Process: More Than Just a Checkmark
The evaluation was carried out by a third-party testing facility operating under Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines.
We chose a 48-hour occlusive patch test, one of the industry’s gold standards for assessing potential skin irritation. This involves:
-
Applying a small, measured amount of DRIP to a patch.
-
Affixing it to the skin of 20 healthy adult volunteers under controlled conditions.
-
Leaving it in place for 48 hours to test under maximum exposure conditions.
-
Assessing any visible skin reactions, redness, swelling, or irritation at regular intervals.
The result? An average irritation index of just 0.0,3, far below the threshold for concern, earning DRIP the official classification of Non-Irritant.
Why This Matters for Hair Products
Many leave-in hair products come into contact with skin, whether it’s your scalp, neck, or hands, during application. Without safety testing, there’s no guarantee that a product won’t irritate, especially with repeated use.
By conducting clinical irritation testing, we can confidently say:
-
Safe for daily use on the scalp and skin contact areas.
-
Dermatologist Tested means medical professionals review our results.
-
Suitable for people with sensitive skin concerns.
Our Science-First Ingredient Philosophy
The test results validate our approach from day one:
-
Evidence over assumption, every ingredient was chosen for performance and safety.
-
No shortcuts, irritation testing takes time and investment, but it’s non-negotiable for us.
-
Formulated with balanced hydration, performance, and comfort in one formula.
We don’t just make hair products that “feel” good. We make products that are proven to be good for your hair, your skin, and your confidence.
The Bigger Picture
For the textured hair community, numerous products have been rushed to market without thorough safety validation, resulting in issues such as irritation, buildup, or more severe problems. By undergoing formal dermatological testing before launch, DRIP sets a new standard for science-led textured haircare.
When you see Non-Irritant and Dermatologist Tested on our label, it’s not a marketing ploy. It’s a promise that we’ve done the work to ensure our product is as safe as it is transformative.
AlbiGlow DRIP hydration is backed by science, proven safe for the skin, and designed for the hair the industry forgot.
