Clear+ Smoothie Face Wash 100 ml: NABL Lab Test Report
NABL lab test report for Clear+ Smoothie Face Wash 100 ml: pathogens absent and pH 6.29. Batch NX2021.
Safety Summary: Clear+ Smoothie Face Wash 100 ml
Is Clear+ Smoothie Face Wash 100 ml 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 NX2021, was analysed against the limits in the referenced standards.
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 6.29, 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 - cocamidopropyl betaine, sodium cocoyl isethionate and glyceryl glucoside. 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, silicones and mineral oil.
What these results cover. The laboratory findings apply to the tested sample from batch NX2021 and the parameters listed on this page. Skin tolerance is assessed separately, in the dermatological patch test certificate. NABL accredits laboratories, not products.

Understanding These Tests for Clear+ Smoothie Face Wash 100 ml
Physical & Organoleptic
On the tested sample, Clear+ Smoothie Face Wash 100 ml was recorded as a translucent viscous liquid, off white in colour and with a characteristic odour.
These checks record what the laboratory observed in the sample as received.
Chemical Parameters
It also lists pH 6.29, foam Height, for 2% solution 58 mm, specific Gravity. 1.056 and active Detergent Content Nil, for which the standard sets no specification.
Chemical parameters are measured against the standard's specification where one exists.
Microbial Counts
Clear+ Smoothie Face Wash 100 ml recorded total microbial count Less than 10 cfu/gm against a limit of NMT 1000 cfu/gm and total yeast & mould count Less than 10 cfu/gm against a limit of NMT 100 cfu/gm.
These tests count viable microorganisms against the limits set by the standard.
Pathogens
In the tested sample of Clear+ Smoothie Face Wash 100 ml, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans were reported Absent - not detected in the tested quantity.
Pathogen tests cover only the organisms listed, not all microorganisms.
