What Is a Patch Test Certificate?
A patch test is a dermatological safety assessment in which a product is applied to the skin of human volunteers under controlled clinical conditions and observed for signs of irritation or allergic reaction. The study is conducted by an independent laboratory, after Ethics Committee approval, under the direct supervision of a qualified dermatologist.
A patch test certificate is the formal document issued by the testing laboratory stating the outcome of that study. It tells you three things: who tested the product, how it was tested, and what the result was. For Mamaearth Rice Face Wash, all three are published in full on this page.

Mamaearth Rice Face Wash is a creamy-texture cleanser enriched with Rice Water and Niacinamide, formulated for a "glass skin" routine. Rice Water is rich in antioxidants that help reduce blemishes and dark spots, while Niacinamide helps reduce the appearance of acne marks and brightens skin tone. Unlike harsher cleansers, it is designed not to strip the skin's essential moisture — it cleanses and hydrates in the same step.
It is part of the Mamaearth Rice Range, and you can compare it with other face washes for every skin type to find the right cleanser for your routine.
Gently Cleanses Skin
Removes dirt and grime without stripping the skin of essential moisture — the first step to glass skin.
Hydrates Skin
Cleanses and hydrates at the same time, leaving skin supple — because hydrated skin glows from within.
Brightens Skin Tone
Rich in antioxidants that brighten skin tone and reduce blemishes for clearer, more radiant skin.
Made Safe Certified
Dermatologically tested and Made Safe Certified — no harmful chemicals, suitable for all skin types.
