The conscious selection of lavera resources and their strict quality control pay off. The innovative lavera care products have already impressed many juries – the brand has won coveted prizes voted for by users, and succeeded in impressing experts from independent test magazines.
Since June 1992, lavera products have been awarded top marks by independent test magazine ÖKO-TEST around 740 times.
As a result, lavera Naturkosmetik ranks higher than other brands.
The ÖKO-TEST evaluation criteria are based on current research results, which may also differ from the EU Cosmetics Directive and the Cosmetics Regulation. ÖKO-TEST bases its evaluations on the study results of the Information Network of Departments of Dermatology (Göttingen) and the University of Zürich, amongst others. In some instances, their own test parameters go beyond existing laws if current findings confirm negative effects on the human organism.
ÖKO-TEST does not evaluate all 26 of the fragrances classified by the EU as allergenic, as only a few fragrances have a significant allergic potential in relation to their use in cosmetic products. It also distinguishes between isolated, synthetic fragrance ingredients and essential oils with their natural fragrance structures.
Synthetic UV filters are classified by ÖKO-TEST as dangerous and are devalued one level (effects on the endocrine system have been demonstrated, in particular in growth-related phases)
Chlorinated aluminium salts block the pores and prevent natural perspiration – ÖKO-TEST therefore marks down one level for these.
PEG and PEG derivatives lead to devaluations by two levels as they have been demonstrated to affect the skin's protective barrier.
Polycyclic musk compounds are allergenic and accumulate in adipose tissue – ÖKO-TEST marks down two levels for these.
Already for the fourth time, lavera Naturkosmetik has successfully completed the GREEN BRAND Germany validation procedure and for the first time the new sustainability audit for Green Brand Switzerland.

lavera Naturkosmetik is GREEN BRAND Germany and Switzerland 2019/2020 – a sustainable, ecological and authentic brand.
