Tested for nickel, chromium, cobalt, mercury, and palladium

Each of the metals contains less than one part per million (1 ppm), which is the minimum amount that meets the product's minimum acceptability requirements. Small quantities may be responsible for skin sensitization. All Instituto Ganassini products are tested for the main heavy metals responsible for skin sensitization, using instruments with detection limits of one part per billion (1 ppb, three orders of magnitude lower).

Dermatologically tested formulations

The product undergoes a Patch Test, a diagnostic method used to detect the presence of substances that cause contact dermatitis when they come into contact with the skin.

Microbiologically tested formulations

Each production batch undergoes testing for the presence of microorganisms to verify its compliance with the requirements of the European Pharmacopoeia.

Ophthalmologically tested formulations

The ophthalmological test is carried out to assess the degree of tolerance of cosmetics used in the periocular area. Cosmetic tolerability is defined based on a clinical evaluation carried out by an ophthalmologist, who evaluates any eye abnormalities and records any adverse reactions reported by the volunteers.

Hypoallergenic formulations

The products are formulated to minimize the risk of allergy. The product undergoes the “Repeated Insult Patch Test” (HRIPT), which is a repeated allergy test over time.

Non-comedogenic formulations

The test allows for the assessment of whether the daily use of a product is responsible for the formation of blackheads, whose appearance can cause occlusion of the sebaceous follicle, with the possible formation of skin blemishes.
