NABL Test Report for Kesar & Kojic Acid Underarm Roll On
Kesar & Kojic Acid Underarm Roll On: NABL Lab Test Report
NABL lab test report for Kesar & Kojic Acid Underarm Roll On: pathogens absent. Batch BU5B001A.
Safety Summary: Kesar & Kojic Acid Underarm Roll On
Is Kesar & Kojic Acid Underarm Roll On 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 BU5B001A, 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).
Sulphate-free and paraben-free. The published ingredient list contains no sulphates, parabens, silicones or mineral oil. 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 and mineral oil.
What these results cover. The laboratory findings apply to the tested sample from batch BU5B001A and the parameters listed on this page. Skin tolerance is assessed separately, in the dermatological patch test certificate. NABL accredits laboratories, not products.
