Independently third-party lab-tested

Lab results for this lotion

Most brands rely on their manufacturer's in-house tests. This batch was independently third-party lab-tested by Eurofins. Here is what was checked, the safe limit for each, and the result.

Who is Eurofins?

Eurofins is one of the world's largest independent testing companies, with laboratories in over 60 countries. Its lab in Gurugram, India tested a sample from this batch. Manovya™ chose an independent lab instead of relying on in-house testing. Scan the QR code on the full report to verify it with Eurofins directly.

Why test for heavy metals?

Lead, arsenic and cadmium can build up in the body. Some Ayurvedic preparations have been found to contain them, so India's AYUSH rules set safe limits. In this lotion, all three were below the smallest amount the test can detect.

Why test for microbes?

Lotions contain water, so they can grow bacteria or mould if made or stored badly. The four harmful microbes checked were not found, and the total count was far under the cosmetic safety limit.

Kumkumadi Saaj Body Lotion is made from natural oils and Ayurvedic extracts. However, because it contains Bakuchi oil (a traditional botanical with active properties), pregnant or breastfeeding individuals may prefer consulting their doctor for personalised guidance.
