Allergen & Product Safety

Last updated: 26 August 2026

At GDR Beauty, your safety matters. Many of our products are applied directly to the skin, hair or body, so please read the product information and ingredients carefully before use.

Patch testing

We recommend patch testing new beauty, skincare and haircare products before full use where appropriate, following the instructions supplied with the product.

A patch test can help identify potential sensitivity, but it cannot guarantee that a reaction will not occur.

Allergies and sensitivities

If you have known allergies or sensitivities, review the ingredients of a product carefully before buying or using it.

Do not use a product if you know you are allergic to one of its ingredients. If you are unsure whether a product is suitable for you, seek advice from an appropriately qualified professional.

If you experience a reaction

Stop using the product immediately if you experience an unusual reaction. If symptoms are severe, worsening or persistent, seek medical attention.

You can then contact us at info@gdrbeauty.com. Where appropriate, we may ask for:

  • Your order number
  • The product name
  • A description of the reaction
  • Photographs
  • Details of how the product was used

Cosmetics and skincare

Cosmetic and skincare products should only be used as directed. Do not use a product beyond its recommended use or in a way the manufacturer has not stated.

Keep products away from children unless the product is specifically intended for them.

Haircare products

Always follow the instructions provided with haircare products. Some products contain ingredients that can cause sensitivity or irritation. Carry out a patch test where recommended and stop using the product if irritation occurs.

Wigs and hair extensions

Inspect wigs and hair extensions before use. For wigs and extensions:

  • Do not use damaged products
  • Follow the care instructions supplied with the product
  • Take care when using heat, and check first whether the product is heat-safe
  • Check whether colouring or chemical treatment is suitable before attempting it
  • Keep the product away from excessive heat and moisture
  • Store it appropriately when not in use

Our Wig & Hair Care Guide and Hair Extensions Guide cover this in more detail.

Product information

Ingredients, materials, colours, measurements and specifications vary between products. Always refer to the individual product listing and the product packaging for the most accurate information about the item you have bought.

Important

The product information we provide is intended to help you make an informed purchasing decision. It is not medical advice.

If you have a medical condition, severe allergies or any concern about whether a product is suitable for you, consult an appropriately qualified professional before use.

If a product causes a reaction, this does not automatically mean the product is faulty, but it does not affect your statutory rights where a product is defective or does not meet the requirements of UK consumer law. See our Returns & Refunds page.
