What Does "Skin-Safe" Mean in Tape?

 

To find a skin-safe tape means understanding what exactly makes a tape safe for the skin. Some factors of skin safety to look out for include:

 

·       Being Hypoallergenic: hypoallergenic tapes are made to reduce the chances of skin irritation or reactions during wear. Ideal for those with sensitive skin.

·       Being Medical Grade: Medical grade (originating in the medical field) tapes are designed specifically to be safely applied to the skin.

·       Being Dermatologically Tested: Dermatologically tested tapes have been, well, tested and proven to be safe on skin.

·       Being Breathable: Tapes made to be breathable, or with breathable materials, allow the skin to breathe, which helps reduce the risk of irritation or reaction.
