Öko-Test has scrutinized plant and alternative hair colors.

In the September edition of the Öko-Test magazine, a total of 17 plant-based and alternative hair colors were thoroughly examined and sent to the laboratories to be tested for questionable and controversial ingredients. 7 of the 17 products received the grade very good; however, 5 products were rated as "unsatisfactory".

A downgrading was caused by, among other things:

• Allergy-causing resorcinol
• Questionable fragrances
• Halogenated organic compounds
• Diethyl phthalate (DEP)

Regularly check your cosmetic products for compliance with the material requirements of the EU Cosmetics Regulation VO (EC) 1223/2009.

The cosmetic experts at the BAV Institute also support you in selecting meaningful testing parameters.

Of course, we conduct all necessary microbiological, chemical, and physico-chemical tests for your product within our Tentamus laboratory group.

Call us, we look forward to your message!
