In total, the magazine Öko-Test has taken a closer look at 18 products in its current issue. Nearly half of the products receive a good rating (seven), three other products achieve a maximum of satisfactory, and the rest receive a maximum rating of poor.
Possible residues and contaminants were examined, which are largely regulated by the European Cosmetics Regulation VO(EG) 1223/2009.
Factors leading to a downgrade include:
- Increased levels of heavy metals, particularly arsenic
- Parabens
- Use of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT)
- Formaldehyde and formaldehyde releasers
- Halogenated organic compounds
The BAV Institute in the network of the international Tentamus Lab Group will be happy to advise you on all questions regarding the aforementioned contaminants.
Within the network of the international Tentamus Lab Group, we can examine all microbiological and chemical parameters relevant to you.
