Is Cocoa Moisture Therapy Lip Balm with Cocoa Butter & Coffee for Dry & Chapped Lips 15 g 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 AR4L107, 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.
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 AR4L107 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 |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
| Caffeine (Coffee) | Caffeine penetrates skin and has documented antioxidant activity in topical use (Herman A, Herman AP. Skin Pharmacol Physiol. 2013;26(1):8-14). | Supports coffee-derived caffeine as an antioxidant active. |
| 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. |
