Safety Summary: Mamaearth In-Vivo Tested SPF 50 PA++++ Ultra-Light Sunscreen | ISO 24444 & 24442 Certified -80g
Is Mamaearth In-Vivo Tested SPF 50 PA++++ Ultra-Light Sunscreen | ISO 24444 & 24442 Certified -80g safe? Yes. It was independently tested at Sigma Test & Research Centre. The tested sample, from batch AAP5G085, 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 6.42, which is mildly acidic.
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, cadmium, arsenic, mercury or antimony.
What these results cover. The laboratory findings apply to the tested sample from batch AAP5G085 and the parameters listed on this page. Skin tolerance is assessed separately, in the dermatological patch test certificate. NABL accredits laboratories, not products.
