You probably go to the store often, in search of general skin care products, or more specific ones, such as aromatherapy body lotion. And you might read the label to determine ingredients. Unfortunately, if you're like me, you probably find that the ingredient names sound so foreign you can barely pronounce them, never mind determine their meaning. So you might look at the product's claims to determine the product's worth. Unfortunately, as this article will teach you, you can't always rely on these claims as there are few, if any, government standards and enforcement associated with them, which can create a problem for you, the consumer, particularly, as you will learn, if you are buying an aromatherapy skin care product.

Claim 1: Dermatologist Tested

This is a frequently made claim. Its goal is to help you feel that the product won't harm your skin. To highlight a use case, the label might read Dermatologist tested on oily skin. Unfortunately, while this claim sounds good, it gives you really little useful information. For example, you often would have no idea which dermatologist did the testing. Further, ...
... you most likely wouldn't know the qualifications of said dermatologist. You could rightfully ask yourself, with no answer, Did this dermatologist have experience with testing? Was she well educated? In addition, you'd have no idea what the dermatologist tested for. Finally, without a huge amount of research, if it were even possible, you couldn't tell who funded the tests. If the consumer product company that manufactured the skin care product you are looking to buy paid for the testing, it would be difficult for it to be an unbiased test.

Claim 2: Hypoallergenic Product

A major online dictionary site, Dictionary.com, defines hypoallergenic as, designed to reduce or minimize the possibility of an allergic response, as by containing relatively few or no potentially irritating substances. Unfortunately, there is no government enforced or encoded standard that a company has to meet to make this claim. This lapse is further compounded when you are looking for an aromatherapy skin care product. The reason? Certain people are highly allergic to particular essential oils, which are ingredients in all true aromatherapy products.

Claim 3: Laboratory Tested

As with Claim 1, Dermatologist Tested, this claim has little meaning. Not only would you not know the qualifications of the testing laboratory, but also you would have no idea what the tests entailed. For example, the laboratory might not have tested for an allergy that you have, which is, again, particularly troublesome when buying an aromatherapy skin care product. Additionally, without knowledge of who funded the test, you couldn't tell how impartial it was.

Unfortunately, given the complex ingredients found in skin care products, you often have to rely on the benefits and claims made by the manufacturer. But, as you learned, claims including Dermatologist Tested, Hypoallergenic, and Laboratory Tested offer little meaning for you. Consequently, it's important that you not only research the product online, but also, if concerned, ask your doctor about it. Let's face it, your skin is important, which is why you are willing to pay for expensive aromatherapy body lotion or other specialized skin care products. So, to keep your skin looking nice, research your products before you buy and apply.
