Safety Summary: Oil-Free Daily Face Wash With Hyaluronic Acid, Glycolic Acid & Multivitamins for Clear & Hydrated Skin
Is Oil-Free Daily Face Wash With Hyaluronic Acid, Glycolic Acid & Multivitamins for Clear & Hydrated Skin 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 DFW001, was analysed against the limits in the referenced standards.
Free from lead and arsenic. The report found no detectable lead or arsenic - both were below the laboratory's detection limit of 0.25 mg/kg.
Free from harmful bacteria and fungi. Four organisms were tested: Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans. All were reported Absent. Total microbial count was Less than 10 cfu/gm (limit 1000 cfu/gm); Total yeast & mould count was Less than 10 cfu/gm (limit 100 cfu/gm).
Gentle, skin-friendly pH. The measured pH is 5.97, which is mildly acidic.
Sulphate-free and paraben-free. The published ingredient list contains no sulphates, parabens, silicones or mineral oil. It cleanses using milder amino-acid surfactants - capb (coco amido propyl betaine) and ecosense 1200 (lauryl-glucoside).
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 or arsenic.
What these results cover. The laboratory findings apply to the tested sample from batch DFW001 and the parameters listed on this page. Skin tolerance is assessed separately, in the dermatological patch test certificate. NABL accredits laboratories, not products.
