We orientate ourselves on the guidelines for controlled natural cosmetics defined by the association BDIH (Association of German Industry and Trading Firms for pharmaceuticals, health care products, food supplements and personal hygiene products; registered association). lavera products are tested and certified by the independent institute IMO Control (institute for market ecology).

The lavera skin care, body care and colour cosmetic products are, without exception, developed and manufactured according to these guidelines. For the hair care products, we use nature-near raw materials that optimally combine effectiveness and naturalness and, for the benefit of effectiveness, we accept this compromise.

BDIH guidelines

The BDIH defines the production guidelines for genuine, certified natural cosmetics and guarantees the permanent quality control of the products with regard to their naturalness:

• Whenever possible BDIH-certified products contain ingredients from certified organic cultivation or certified wild collection. Currently, for 105 of these ingredients this quality is mandatory, e.g. in the case of soy, rose, almond and olive oil.

• These products are expressly made without organic-synthetic artificial colouring, synthetic fragrances, ethoxylated ingredients, silicones, paraffins and petroleum products.

• No active agents or ingredients may be genetically modified.

• The effectiveness and skin compatibility of the products may only be tested on volunteers.
