Bond Repair Conditioner: NABL Lab Test Report
NABL lab test report for Bond Repair Conditioner: pathogens absent and pH 4.64. Batch AM5B013.
Safety Summary: Bond Repair Conditioner
Is Bond Repair Conditioner safe? Yes. It was independently tested at Sigma Test & Research Centre, a laboratory accredited by NABL (Accreditation No. TC-15193). The tested sample, from batch AM5B013, 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, hair-friendly pH. The measured pH is 4.64, 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 - xylitylglucoside. Preservation uses phenoxyethanol, ethylhexylglycerin and sodium benzoate.
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 AM5B013 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 Bond Repair Conditioner
Physical & Organoleptic
On the tested sample, Bond Repair Conditioner was recorded as a white soft mass, 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 4.64, thermal Stability Passes the test, total fatty matter 12.36 % w/w and viscosity, cps (Temp:25.3C,RPM:10,SPL 17881, for which the standard sets no specification.
Chemical parameters are measured against the standard's specification where one exists.
Microbial Counts
Bond Repair Conditioner 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 Bond Repair Conditioner, 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.
