Iholle

Iholle is a Finnish word that translates to "on the skin" or "to the skin." It is most commonly used in the context of skincare and cosmetics to describe products designed for topical application. For example, a facial cream might be described as being suitable for iholle, meaning it is intended to be applied directly to the skin of the face.

The term iholle is also employed in discussions about allergies and sensitivities. When a product or substance causes a reaction on the skin, it is said to be causing an effect "ihoärsytystä" or "iho-oireita," meaning skin irritation or skin symptoms. This highlights the importance of patch testing new products to ensure they are well-tolerated by the skin.

In a broader sense, iholle can also refer to anything that comes into contact with the skin, such as clothing, jewelry, or even environmental factors like sunlight and pollution. Understanding how different elements interact with the skin is crucial for maintaining skin health and preventing damage. The concept of iholle therefore encompasses a wide range of considerations related to dermal well-being and product efficacy.
