Do I need ophthalmologist testing for my waterproof eyeliner before launch?

It is not legally required under FDA regulations, but claims like 'ophthalmologist tested' or 'safe for contact lens wearers' require substantiation through a certified clinical lab. Many retailers and EU safety assessors expect a RIPT or ocular irritation test regardless of label claims. A cosmetic chemist experienced in eye-area products can refer you to appropriate testing labs and help you interpret results.
