Bond Repair Leave-In Serum Cream: NABL Lab Test Report
NABL lab test report for Bond Repair Leave-In Serum Cream: pathogens absent and pH 5.63. Batch CC5B006.
Safety Summary: Bond Repair Leave-In Serum Cream
Is Bond Repair Leave-In Serum Cream 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 CC5B006, 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 5.63, which is mildly acidic. The standard allows 5.0 to 9.0 for this product type.
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 CC5B006 and the parameters listed on this page. Skin tolerance is assessed separately, in the dermatological patch test certificate. NABL accredits laboratories, not products.
