Dermatologist-Tested
Definition
A labeling claim indicating that a product has been evaluated by a board-certified dermatologist. However, 'dermatologist-tested' is not a regulated term — it does not specify what tests were performed, what the results were, or whether the dermatologist approved the product. A product can be labeled dermatologist-tested even if the dermatologist found it irritating. Consumers should focus on ingredient lists rather than marketing claims.

Hypoallergenic

Clean Beauty
A movement and product philosophy focused on using non-toxic, transparently sourced ingredients and avoiding potentially harmful chemicals.
