Safety Summary: BBlunt Hot Shot Heat Protection Mist
Is BBlunt Hot Shot Heat Protection Mist safe? The submitted sample from batch AM6H212 was tested at Sigma Test & Research Centre. The report documents specified chemical and microbiological measurements but does not establish overall product safety for every individual.
Heavy metals below detection limits. Lead, arsenic and cadmium were reported Not Detected at detection limits of 0.25 mg/kg each, while mercury was Not Detected at a detection limit of 0.1 mg/kg.
Specified pathogens absent. Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans were reported Absent. Total microbial count and yeast & mould count were each Less than 10 cfu/gm, within the specified limits.
Measured pH. The tested sample recorded a pH of 5.25, within the customer specification of 4.80–5.50 stated in the report.
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. Ingredient-list statements and laboratory measurements represent separate types of evidence.
What these results cover. The laboratory findings apply to the tested sample from batch AM6H212 and the parameters listed on this page. Skin tolerance is assessed separately in the dermatological patch test certificate.

Understanding These Tests for BBlunt Hot Shot Heat Protection Mist
Physical & Organoleptic
The submitted sample was observed as a colourless liquid with a characteristic odour.
These checks document what the laboratory observed in the sample received.
Chemical Parameters
The report lists pH 5.25, specific gravity 1.005, refractive index 1.3363 and density 1.002 g/ml. Isopropyl alcohol and 1,4-dioxane were below their stated detection limits.
The measured pH and specific gravity fall within the customer specifications listed in the report.
Heavy Metals
Lead, arsenic and cadmium were below the detection limit of 0.25 mg/kg, while mercury was below 0.1 mg/kg.
Not Detected means below the laboratory's stated detection limit, not necessarily absolute absence.
Microbial Counts
Total microbial count and total yeast & mould count were below 10 cfu/gm. Their respective limits were NMT 1000 and NMT 100 cfu/gm.
These tests evaluate the submitted sample against the microbiological limits stated in the report.
Pathogens
Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans were reported Absent in the tested sample.
The findings cover these four specified organisms, not all possible microorganisms.
