NABL Test Report for Haldi & Hyaluronic Acid Sleeping Mask
Haldi & Hyaluronic Acid Sleeping Mask: NABL Lab Test Report
NABL lab test report for Haldi & Hyaluronic Acid Sleeping Mask: heavy metals not detected, pathogens absent and pH 8.24. Batch AH4A013.
Safety Summary: Haldi & Hyaluronic Acid Sleeping Mask
Is Haldi & Hyaluronic Acid Sleeping Mask safe? Yes. It was independently tested at Sigma Test & Research Centre, a laboratory accredited by NABL (Accreditation No. TC-5369). The tested sample, from batch AH4A013, was analysed against the limits in the referenced standards.
Free from lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury and antimony. The report found no detectable lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury or antimony - each was below the laboratory's detection limit of 0.25 mg/kg.
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, skin-friendly pH. The measured pH is 8.24, 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.
Is it chemical free? No cosmetic is chemical-free - water itself is a chemical. This one is free from sulphates, parabens, silicones, mineral oil and any detectable lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury or antimony.
What these results cover. The laboratory findings apply to the tested sample from batch AH4A013 and the parameters listed on this page. Skin tolerance is assessed separately, in the dermatological patch test certificate. NABL accredits laboratories, not products.

Published Research on Key Actives
Published literature on each ingredient, not studies on this product.
| Ingredient | Published finding | Relevance to the formulation |
|---|---|---|
| Niacinamide | Topical niacinamide has been reported to improve the appearance of ageing facial skin, including tone and texture (Bissett DL, et al. Dermatol Surg. 2005;31(7 Pt 2):860-865). | Supports the inclusion of niacinamide in tone and barrier formulas. |
| Hyaluronic Acid | Hyaluronic acid is documented as a key water-binding molecule in skin hydration (Papakonstantinou E, et al. Dermatoendocrinol. 2012;4(3):253-258). | Supports hyaluronic acid or sodium hyaluronate as a hydrating agent. |
| Ceramides | Ceramides are essential lipids of the stratum corneum and topical ceramides support barrier repair (Coderch L, et al. Am J Clin Dermatol. 2003;4(2):107-129). | Supports ceramides as barrier-support lipids. |
| Vitamin E | Vitamin E is reviewed as a major lipid-soluble antioxidant in skin, with photoprotective and moisturising roles (Keen MA, Hassan I. Indian Dermatol Online J. 2016;7(4):311-315). | Supports vitamin E as an antioxidant and emollient stabiliser. |
