Independent Lab Verification
You put this on your face every night. You deserve to know exactly what is in it — and to see the proof that it is safe. Here is the independent lab testing behind the mouth tape we recommend, laid out in full.
Two independent testing streams stand behind Titan Recovery's bamboo silk mouth tape. The first is ISO 10993 biocompatibility testing on the adhesive — the same standard used for surgical tapes and medical devices. The second is a 501-compound PFAS screen on the finished tape. Titan calls its material system SilkSeal™: a bamboo silk backing paired with a medical-grade adhesive designed for nightly skin contact.
An honest note on scope. The ISO 10993 tests were run on the adhesive and were commissioned by the adhesive's manufacturer — not run by Titan on the whole finished tape. The PFAS screen is on the finished tape, adhesive included. We state it that way on purpose: the data is real and verifiable, and precision is the point.
Three biocompatibility tests on the adhesive inside SilkSeal™, independently tested to ISO 10993.
Is it toxic?
Can the adhesive damage your skin at a cellular level?
Non-toxicThe lab tested whether the adhesive damages living cells. Three independent samples were tested; all passed, averaging 95% cell viability against a 70% pass line — exceeding the threshold by 25%.

Will it cause allergic reactions?
Does the adhesive trigger skin allergies with repeated daily use?
Non-allergenicThe lab tested for allergic skin reactions after repeated exposure. The result: zero reactions across every test subject, at every time point.

Will it irritate your skin?
Does the adhesive cause redness, swelling, or irritation?
NegligibleSkin irritation was measured on a 0 (none) to 8 (severe) scale. The adhesive scored 0.0 — the lowest possible, classified "Negligible." Zero redness, zero swelling, at every time point.

The finished mouth tape — adhesive included — was screened for 501 individual PFAS "forever chemicals" by an accredited independent laboratory (WEIPU), using LC-MS/MS and GC-MS analysis per EN 17681 standards.
Does it contain PFAS?
Are there "forever chemicals" in the tape you put on your face every night?
PFAS-freePFAS are synthetic compounds that do not break down in the environment or the body, which is why they are called "forever chemicals" — and they turn up in everyday products from cookware to cosmetics. Every one of the 501 compounds tested came back Not Detected.

Titan publishes the full lab reports on a public page. This is the tape we recommend precisely because you can read the data rather than take anyone's word for it.
