Eyeliner tested by Öko-Test

In the July issue of the magazine Öko-Test, a total of 18 eyeliners were examined in detail and sent to laboratories. Currently under discussion are controversial preservatives, halogen-organic compounds, and PEG compounds.

Half of the products received the rating "very good". However, 7 of the 18 eyeliners contained problematic substances.

 Leading to a downgrade were, among other things:

• controversial preservatives,
• PEG and PEG derivatives
• formaldehyde/releasers
• halogen-organic compounds

Regularly check your products for contaminants to ensure compliance with the requirements of Regulation (EC) 1223/2009. Checking stored or aged products, for example in the context of stability tests, is also advisable.

The BAV Institute is at your side with advice and support within the international Tentamus laboratory group.

We look forward to your message.
