Safety for humans, the environment and animals

The products that make up this line of cleansers are completely neutral and delicate, suitable for all skin types, even the most sensitive ones. In fact, the formulations do not contemplate the use of those aggressive and harmful substances, such as preservatives, perfumes, gluten, parabens, indicated by dermatologists as mainly responsible for contact allergies.

The aromas of this line are given by the combination of natural elements and the use of carefully selected raw materials. In the products offered, surfactants of vegetal rather than petrochemical origin are used, favoring the choice of raw materials without dangerous labeling and IFRA certified perfumes, according to AIAB regulations.

The production laboratories, exclusively Made in Italy, use clean energy from renewable sources.

No detergent has been tested on animals (in compliance with legislative decree n° 50 of 15 February 2005)

Il Nichel è un metallo pesante molto diffuso e risulta tra le cause più comuni di dermatite allergica da contatto, una patologia che produce lesioni cutanee molto simili a quelle dell’eczema.

Nickel is a very widespread heavy metal and is among the most common causes of allergic contact dermatitis, a pathology that produces skin lesions very similar to those of eczema.

Nickel is contained in consumer products such as detergents, cosmetics, coins, jewellery, buttons, zippers, glasses, buckles, clips, ink, dentures, etc.

Nickel allergy is the most widespread in the world. In 2004, the working group relating to the European contact allergy surveillance system (ESSCA) collected data from 31 dermatological services present in 11 different European countries (Austria, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, United Kingdom, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland) and observed that out of approximately 10,000 subjects subjected to the patch test, 20.1% of cases gave positive responses to nickel, highlighting how this metal was the first place among all allergens.

The lowest percentage of subjects allergic to nickel was observed in Denmark (9.7%) while the highest in Italy (32.2%).

As a precaution, therefore, it is very important to pay attention to the products you purchase to avoid allergic reactions or to monitor skin rashes.

How do I know if I purchased soap containing nickel?

Unfortunately, reading the ingredients is not of much use, because nickel, being prohibited from use in the formulation of the product, is often found following contamination in the processing of the product such as the conservation of detergents or raw materials in metal containers. It should be remembered that nickel is everywhere in nature, in water, soil, many foods and even stainless steel.

The words "nickel tested" or "nickel free" are the only guarantee that the product has actually been checked and that nickel, if present, does not exceed tolerability limits.

CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) are chemical compounds containing chlorine, fluorine and carbon.
CFCs had found widespread use as aerosol propellants and as refrigerants. However, since they have been held partly responsible for the reduction of the ozone layer present in the stratosphere, international agreements have been formulated aimed at banning their production and use.
PHOSPHATES pollute the environment and are dangerous: they dissolve in the washing water, ending up, with each flush, in the sewers and, consequently, in the water of rivers and seas where they feed the algae. The algae then remove oxygen from fish and other aquatic organisms. Laundry soaps are the third largest source of phosphate discharge into surface waters, after agriculture and sewerage. At the top of the detergent category are washing machine drains.
