ISO 13485 : 2016
Located in the heart of the Ochre city of Marrakech since 1999, our laboratory is specialized in the formulation of cosmetic products.
ISO 13485:2016, an internationally recognised standard, establishes the requirements for a quality management system for the medical device sector. This standard specifies the requirements for a quality management system of an organisation involved in one or more stages of the life cycle of a medical device from design to market.
Cruelty free
Located in the heart of the Ochre city of Marrakech since 1999, our laboratory is specialized in the formulation of cosmetic products.
This certification simply means "cruelty-free". Cosmetics bearing the Cruelty Free label do not test ingredients or finished products on animals. To be labelled, the brand must not test any ingredients or finished products on animals, either in Europe or on foreign markets.
However, one must remain vigilant to the indication "not tested on animals" found on certain products. Indeed, this is a marketing manipulation technique since cosmetic tests on animals have been banned in Europe since 2013, it is supposed to be a pre-requisite. Moreover, the total traceability of all the components of a product (materials, dyes, etc.) is complex to obtain and only rarely makes it possible to certify the total absence of cruelty throughout the production chain.
Silicone free
Located in the heart of the Ochre city of Marrakech since 1999, our laboratory is specialized in the formulation of cosmetic products.
Silicone free means that no silicone release agents are used in the investment casting process or at any other time during the production of our dispensing components, and that all components are produced in the United States in our Rhode Island and New Jersey facilities, which have been certified silicone free by independent testing laboratories.
Paraben free
Located in the heart of the Ochre city of Marrakech since 1999, our laboratory is specialized in the formulation of cosmetic products.
Paraben-free certification is the most commonly used preservative in cosmetics and personal care products such as soaps, moisturisers, shaving creams and underarm deodorants. To be a little more scientific, parabens are esters (a compound formed from an acid and an alcohol) of p-hydroxybenzoic acid.
Vegan
Located in the heart of the Ochre city of Marrakech since 1999, our laboratory is specialized in the formulation of cosmetic products.
The certified logo is easily visible to consumers interested in vegan products and helps vegans to shop without having to constantly consult ingredient lists. It also helps businesses recognise the existence of a growing vegan market, while at the same time making the word 'vegan' - and the lifestyle it represents - known to the general public. (Please bear in mind, however, that not all vegan products yet carry the logo). The Certified Vegan logo is currently on thousands of products produced by over 1000 companies.
