Safety Summary: Glow+ Oil Free Moisturizer with Papaya & Vitamin C for Glowing Skin - 100g
Is Glow+ Oil Free Moisturizer with Papaya & Vitamin C for Glowing Skin - 100g 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 AQL-042, met every safety limit the laboratory checked.
Free from harmful bacteria and fungi. One organism was tested: Candida albicans. All were reported Absent.
Gentle, skin-friendly pH. The measured pH is 6.21, 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 - ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate and ascorbyl glucoside (vitamin c). Preservation uses potassium sorbate, 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 AQL-042 and the parameters listed on this page. Skin tolerance is assessed separately, in the dermatological patch test certificate. NABL accredits laboratories, not products.
