Moringa & Vitamin C Cleansing Oil: NABL Lab Test Report
NABL lab test report for Moringa & Vitamin C Cleansing Oil: heavy metals not detected and pathogens absent. Batch BCC3642.
Safety Summary: Moringa & Vitamin C Cleansing Oil
Is Moringa & Vitamin C Cleansing Oil 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 BCC3642, was analysed against the limits in the referenced standards.
Free from lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium and antimony. The report found no detectable lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium 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).
Sulphate-free and paraben-free. The published ingredient list contains no sulphates, parabens, silicones or mineral oil.
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, arsenic, mercury, cadmium or antimony.
What these results cover. The laboratory findings apply to the tested sample from batch BCC3642 and the parameters listed on this page. Skin tolerance is assessed separately, in the dermatological patch test certificate. NABL accredits laboratories, not products.

Understanding These Tests for Moringa & Vitamin C Cleansing Oil
Physical & Organoleptic
On the tested sample, Moringa & Vitamin C Cleansing Oil was recorded as a pale yellow coloured oily liquid, pale yellow in colour and with a characteristic odour.
These checks record what the laboratory observed in the sample as received.
Chemical Parameters
It also lists acid Value 0.30, Peroxide Value, mEq/1000g 3.31 and specific Gravity 0.924, for which the standard sets no specification.
Chemical parameters are measured against the standard's specification where one exists.
Heavy Metals
In this report, Moringa & Vitamin C Cleansing Oil showed no detectable lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium or antimony - each below the laboratory's detection limit of 0.25 mg/kg.
Heavy metals can enter a product through raw materials or manufacturing.
Microbial Counts
Moringa & Vitamin C Cleansing Oil recorded total microbial count Less than 10 cfu/gm against a limit of NMT 1000 cfu/gm and total yeast & mould count Less than 10 cfu/gm against a limit of NMT 100 cfu/gm.
These tests count viable microorganisms against the limits set by the standard.
Pathogens
In the tested sample of Moringa & Vitamin C Cleansing Oil, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans were reported Absent - not detected in the tested quantity.
Pathogen tests cover only the organisms listed, not all microorganisms.

Published Research on Key Actives
Published literature on each ingredient, not studies on this product.
| Ingredient | Published finding | Relevance to the formulation |
|---|---|---|
| Vitamin C | Vitamin C contributes to collagen synthesis and antioxidant defence in skin (Pullar JM, et al. Nutrients. 2017;9(8):866). | Supports vitamin C as an antioxidant and brightening active. |
| 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. |
| Coconut Oil | Virgin coconut oil was as effective as mineral oil in improving skin hydration in xerosis (Agero AL, Verallo-Rowell VM. Dermatitis. 2004;15(3):109-116). | Supports coconut oil as a moisturising emollient. |
| Sweet Almond Oil | Sweet almond oil has documented emollient and skin-conditioning use (Ahmad Z. Complement Ther Clin Pract. 2010;16(1):10-12). | Supports almond oil as a softening emollient. |
