Tested in nickel, chrome, cobalt, mercury and paladio

Each of the metals contains less than one part per million (1 ppm) which is the minimum amount that meets the minimum product acceptability requirements. Small quantities can be responsible for skin awareness. All the products of the Greek Institute are tested in the main heavy metals responsible for the sensitization of the skin, with instruments with limits of detection of one part per billion (1ppb, 3 orders of lower magnitude).

Dermatologically tested formulations

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

Microbiologically tested formulations

Each lot of production undergoes control of 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 evaluate the degree of tolerance of the cosmetics to be used in the periocular area. Cosmetic tolerability is defined on the basis of a clinical evaluation carried out by an ophthalmologist, who evaluates any anomaly in the eye and records any adverse reaction reported by the volunteers.

Hypoallergenic formulations

The products are formulated to minimize the risk of allergy. The product is subjected to the "Repeated insult patch test" (HRIPT), which is an allergological test repeated over time.

Non -comedogenic formulations

The test allows to evaluate whether the daily use of a product is responsible for the formation of black points, whose appearance can cause the occlusion of the sebaceous follicle, with the possible formation of skin imperfections.
