Is Koh Body Care safe for sensitive skin?

Both Sensitive Hand Wash and Sensitive Body Wash are formulated for sensitive skin. They are free from sulfates, synthetic fragrance, parabens, dyes, silicones, phthalates, triclosan, mineral oil, soap and lanolin. Both are pH 5.5, matching healthy skin. Both are HRIPT dermatologically tested and both are recognised by the Eczema Association of Australasia. If you experience any irritation, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.

Both formulas are built around what is left out. Removing the ingredients most commonly associated with irritation is the foundation of the range.

What do HRIPT tested and Eczema Association recognised mean?

HRIPT stands for Human Repeat Insult Patch Test, a dermatological test where a panel of volunteers wears the product under patches over several weeks to check for skin irritation or allergic reactions. Both Sensitive Hand Wash (attained September 2025) and Sensitive Body Wash (attained February 2026) hold current HRIPT certification. Recognition from the Eczema Association of Australasia means the product has been assessed as suitable for people with eczema-prone or sensitive skin. Both Hand Wash and Body Wash hold current Eczema Association recognition, attained October 2025. Neither is a treatment claim. If you have an active skin condition, consult your dermatologist or GP before introducing new products.
