Safety Summary: Moisture Matte Longstay Lipstick - 2g | Berrylicious Magenta
Is Moisture Matte Longstay Lipstick - 2g | Berrylicious Magenta 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 B.22205, met every safety limit the laboratory checked.
Free from lead, cadmiun, arsenic and mercury. The report found no detectable lead, cadmiun, arsenic or mercury - 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 or mineral oil. Preservation uses phenoxyethanol.
