Always opt for patch tests before proper application as every individual’s skin reacts differently to various ingredients. Some may suit and some may give allergic reactions to a few individuals. This makes the patch test mandatory for everyone. If you have already applied all the ingredients in past or have used them quite often, involved in that particular recipe then there is no need for a patch test.
