Safety Summary: Skin Renew Barrier Repair Peptide Moisturizer with Peptide & Vitamin C

Is Skin Renew Barrier Repair Peptide Moisturizer with Peptide & Vitamin C 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 AN4G018, 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.

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 6.34, which is mildly acidic.

Sulphate-free and paraben-free. The published ingredient list contains no sulphates, parabens or mineral oil. It cleanses using milder amino-acid surfactants - betaine and xylitylglucoside. Preservation uses phenoxyethanol and ethylhexylglycerin.

Is it chemical free? No cosmetic is chemical-free - water itself is a chemical. This one is free from sulphates, parabens, 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 AN4G018 and the parameters listed on this page. Skin tolerance is assessed separately, in the dermatological patch test certificate. NABL accredits laboratories, not products.

Ingredient Published finding Relevance to the formulation
Niacinamide Topical niacinamide has been reported to improve the appearance of ageing facial skin, including tone and texture (Bissett DL, et al. Dermatol Surg. 2005;31(7 Pt 2):860-865). Supports the inclusion of niacinamide in tone and barrier formulas.
Vitamin C Vitamin C contributes to collagen synthesis and antioxidant defence in skin (Pullar JM, et al. Nutrients. 2017;9(8):866). Supports vitamin C as an antioxidant and brightening active.
Hyaluronic Acid Hyaluronic acid is documented as a key water-binding molecule in skin hydration (Papakonstantinou E, et al. Dermatoendocrinol. 2012;4(3):253-258). Supports hyaluronic acid or sodium hyaluronate as a hydrating agent.
Ceramides Ceramides are essential lipids of the stratum corneum and topical ceramides support barrier repair (Coderch L, et al. Am J Clin Dermatol. 2003;4(2):107-129). Supports ceramides as barrier-support lipids.
Centella Asiatica (Cica) Centella asiatica has documented wound-healing and soothing activity in dermatological use (Bylka W, et al. Postepy Dermatol Alergol. 2013;30(1):46-49). Supports centella asiatica as a soothing botanical.
