Bath additives tested in the current Öko-Test magazine

In the December issue of the Öko-Test magazine, a total of 50 bath additives are examined in more detail (natural cosmetics and conventional products).

All but 9 products are rated overall good or very good. The other products are at most satisfactory according to Öko-Test criteria, with 2 products rating insufficient. Factors leading to one or more rating downgrades include:

-       Diethyl phthalate

-       Formaldehyde and formaldehyde releasers

-       Artificial musk compounds

-       Halogenated organic compounds

-       PEG- and PEG derivatives

All bath additives must meet the strict requirements of the European Cosmetic Regulation Regulation (EC) 1223/2009 and must not contain any harmful residues or contaminants (safety report).

Furthermore, the labeling of the products must comply with the requirements of Regulation (EU) 655/2013.
