Advanced Smoothening Heat Hair Spa Mask with Keratin & Hyaluronic Acid: NABL Lab Test Report
NABL lab test report for Advanced Smoothening Heat Hair Spa Mask with Keratin & Hyaluronic Acid: pathogens absent. Batch AQ4E011.
Safety Summary: Advanced Smoothening Heat Hair Spa Mask with Keratin & Hyaluronic Acid
Is Advanced Smoothening Heat Hair Spa Mask with Keratin & Hyaluronic Acid 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 AQ4E011, met every safety limit the laboratory checked.
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).
Sulphate-free and paraben-free. The published ingredient list contains no sulphates, parabens or mineral oil. 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 and mineral oil.
What these results cover. The laboratory findings apply to the tested sample from batch AQ4E011 and the parameters listed on this page. Skin tolerance is assessed separately, in the dermatological patch test certificate. NABL accredits laboratories, not products.
