Still certified - still guaranteed!

As you've no doubt guessed by now, we're really hung up on our certifications. So needless to say, we're very proud everytime we pass!

Indeed we were inspected just this past Wednesday and we can still proudly say that we are
  • Certified Organic (IOS Cosmetics)
  • ISO-certified (ISO9001-2000)
  • GMP-certified

While it's a big committment and a lot of hard work, we wouldn't give this up for anything. For one thing these certifications keep us on our toes and push us on to keep on the leading edge of our field. For seconds, it's our guarantee to you all of the veracity of our claims.

The work continues as we struggle to exceed our own standards.

NO to 1,4-Dioxane and Ethoxylation

Hi again, sorry for the prolonged absence, things are really heating up in our office and in the lab.
Just to keep in touch with you, 1,4-Dioxane and the process of ethoxylation are once again hitting the news.
Thankfully, public awareness around the ingredients contained in personal care products is increasing and consumers are becoming better informed about the potential toxicity of some ingredients over others.
Just to reiterate, we want to make sure our customers and supporters know that our products do not contain any of the following ingredients:
1,4 dioxane
formaldehyde
PEG 12 dimethicone
PEG 45 M
PEG-80 sorbitan laurate
PEG-150 disterate
PEG-100 stearate
sodium laureth sulphate
polyethylene
ceteareth-20

But don't take our word for it.
Our products are certified organic under IOS Cosmetics by Certech Registration, one of the world’s strictest standards for the certification of cosmetics.
The certification (which involves frequent inspections) guarantees that our products are free of harmful and artificial ingredients and contain a guaranteed minimum of certified organic ingredients.

As always, we're happy to hear from you, so you can either post a comment right here or you can drop us a line at davicenna@davicenna.com.
