TESTING
At Ples’Jour® we go beyond standard testing to ensure the safety and effectiveness of our products.
STABILITY TESTING
Stability testing assesses how Opal performs under real-world conditions, including exposure to heat, humidity, and time, ensuring it holds its luxurious texture and performance throughout its shelf life.
SAFETY TESTED
Safety testing ensures Opal meets the highest standards for intimate use, confirming it's non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and gentle on sensitive skin. Every batch is held to the same rigorous standard before it reaches you.
CYTOTOXICITY TESTED
Cytotoxicity testing evaluates whether a product has any harmful effects on living cells, ensuring that it does not cause irritation, damage, or adverse reactions. It's one of the most rigorous safety checks a product can undergo, giving confidence that Opal is gentle at a cellular level, not just on the surface.
MOISTURISING
In addition to providing a friction-free experience, Opal is designed to lock in moisture and create a protective barrier on the skin. Opal is designed to lock in moisture and create a protective barrier on the skin, keeping it soft, hydrated, and nourished well after use. In testing, it improved skin moisturisation by up to 38% after just 30 minutes.
GYNAECOLOGIST RECOMMENDED
Opal is developed under the guidance of Dr Jacqueline Guest FRCOG, and has also been independently reviewed and approved by a separate gynaecologist, ensuring every formula meets clinical standards for safety, comfort, and intimate wellbeing.
DERMATOLOGIST RECOMMENDED
Opal has been reviewed and approved by a dermatologist, confirming it's hypoallergenic, non-irritating, and suitable even for sensitive skin, giving an extra layer of clinical reassurance beyond intimate wellness alone.
EPIVAGINALLY TESTED
Epivaginal testing uses a lab-grown model of human vaginal tissue to assess how Opal interacts with intimate tissue, measuring cell health, irritation response, and barrier integrity, a more precise, non-animal alternative to traditional skin patch testing. Opal passed with 0% irritation, confirming it's safe and gentle for intimate use.
NON-STICKY
Opal was independently reviewed by real participants to assess its texture and feel during use. 100% rated it non-sticky, confirming its silky, long-lasting glide leaves skin feeling smooth rather than tacky or residue-heavy, even after use.
SUITABLE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN
Opal was tested on users with sensitive skin to assess how it performed under real conditions. 100% reported no irritation, confirming its hypoallergenic, gentle formula is suitable even for the most sensitive skin types.
SUITABLE FOR ALL SKIN TYPES
Whether your skin is dry, oily, combination, or normal, Opal has been tested across the full range of skin types to ensure consistent comfort and performance, no matter your skin's natural tendencies.
TOY SAFE
Opal was tested for compatibility with silicone, glass, and metal toys, including prolonged exposure to heat and time to replicate real-world use and storage conditions. The results confirmed it doesn't degrade or damage toy surfaces, preserving their integrity, texture, and longevity.
CONDOM SAFE
Opal has been thoroughly tested for compatibility with both latex and polyisoprene condoms, confirming it doesn't compromise their strength, integrity, or performance, so protection stays reliable, without sacrificing glide.
