Safety Summary: 20% Actives Peptide-Stem Cell Hair Growth Serum with Foligen Analupe & Anagain For Hair Growth
Is 20% Actives Peptide-Stem Cell Hair Growth Serum with Foligen Analupe & Anagain For Hair Growth safe? Yes. It was independently tested at Sigma Test & Research Centre, a laboratory accredited by NABL (Accreditation No. TC-5369). The tested sample, from batch AD23017, met every safety limit the laboratory checked.
Free from lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury and antimony. The report found no detectable lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury or antimony - each was below the laboratory's detection limit of 0.25 mg/kg.
Gentle, hair-friendly pH. The measured pH is 3.54, which is mildly acidic.
Sulphate-free and paraben-free. The published ingredient list contains no sulphates, parabens, silicones or mineral oil. Preservation uses phenoxyethanol, ethylhexylglycerin and sodium benzoate.
Is it chemical free? No cosmetic is chemical-free - water itself is a chemical. This one is free from sulphates, parabens, silicones, mineral oil and any detectable lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury or antimony.
What these results cover. The laboratory findings apply to the tested sample from batch AD23017 and the parameters listed on this page. Skin tolerance is assessed separately, in the dermatological patch test certificate. NABL accredits laboratories, not products.
