CLINICAL PATCH TEST RESULTS

Finished-product testing by an independent laboratory

The laboratory concluded the sample "induced no reaction of irritation". Its own grading tables also record a highest single-subject grade of 1.00 (a light, hardly noticeable reaction) at the 48, 72 and 96-hour readings, and the 96-hour mean rose to 0.10, so the mean scores are published here exactly as reported rather than rounded away. The study covered one sample of product code SYCL 2 (development name for The Pipster) with no batch reference recorded, and patch testing under occlusion is a stress test, not everyday use.

MEAN DAILY IRRITATION SCORE

Average grade across all 30 subjects at each reading. 0 = no visible reaction, 3 = strongest reaction on the laboratory scale. "Water" is the negative control (deionised water); "SLS 0.3%" is the positive control the laboratory used to prove the test could detect irritation.

Mean Daily Irritation Score (MDIS) as published in the report
Reading	PULP sample	SLS 0.3%
24 hours	0.00	0.07
48 hours	0.03	0.23
72 hours	0.07	0.57
96 hours	0.10	0.63

The laboratory's own grading table records a highest single-subject grade of 1.00 for the PULP sample. Statistical comparison in the report found reactions to the positive control significantly higher than to both the negative control and the PULP sample at the 5% level of significance.

MEAN IRRITATION INDEX

The four readings averaged together. Under the report's scale, below 0.30 is classed as not irritating.

Mean Irritation Index (MII) and irritation potential as published
Sample	Index	Irritation potential
PULP sample (SYCL 2)	0.04	Not Irritating
Water (negative control)	0.00	Not Irritating
SLS 0.3% (positive control)	0.38	Mildly Irritating

WHAT THE LABORATORY CONCLUDED

REPORT DETAILS

Conducted by: Advanced Development & Safety Laboratories Limited (ADSL), Paignton, Devon, UK. Accredited to ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 17025:2017.
Report: Dermatologically Controlled Patch Test Report · ADSL reference 22973 · study started 3 March 2025
Sample: Tested under product code SYCL 2 (development name for The Pipster), supplied by Upgrad'd Labs. One sample, no batch reference recorded.
Dermatological oversight: Dr Alice Walker, dermatologist (GMC 7088381)
How it was run: Shared 96-hour human patch test on 30 healthy volunteers, single-blind, within-subject comparison. The sample was applied under occlusive patch four times, every 24 hours, over five days, to the upper back or upper arms.
Controls: Negative control: deionised water. Positive control: sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) at 0.3%.
How it was graded: Every reading was graded 0 to 3 for erythema, oedema, dryness/desquamation and vesicles by one qualified assessor, following European Society of Contact Dermatitis guidelines (July 2015).
The panel: 30 healthy volunteers aged 18 - 69 (23 women, 7 men), recorded skin types: sensitive. 0 exclusions and 0 withdrawals, so 30 valid cases.

Results apply to the sample tested under the conditions described above. A patch test measures irritation potential under occlusion in 30 people; it is not a claim to treat, diagnose or prevent any condition, and individual reactions can still differ.
