Fragrance allergens: Annex III, No. 67-92 Food Allergens: not tested, but due to origin not to expect
of Regulation EC/1223/2009;
Food allergens: Annex II of regulation
EC/1169/2011
other allergens Latex is due to origin and production process not expected in this product
SVHC This product does not contain any substances included in current ECHA
“Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern” (SVHC) and/or current
Annex XIV of REACH (the "Authorisation List") in amount of ≥ 0.1%.
Pesticides Due to origin and production process not to expect
Heavy metals < 10 ppm
Metal catalysts Metal catalysts are not used for the manufacturing process, therefore they
are not expected and not analytically monitored.
Phthalates Phthalates are not added to the product during the manufacturing process.
The formation of phthalates is not expected during the process. Therefore
this substance classis not analytically monitored.
Glycol ethers Glycol ethers are not added to the product during the manufacturing process.
The formation of glycol ether is not expected during the process. Therefore
this substance class is not analytically monitored.
Dioxin, 3-MCPD, DMF A contamination with 1,4-Dioxane is not expected, as the manufacturing
(dimethyl formamide) process does not include an ethoxylation step. Therefore 1,4-Dioxane is not
monitored analytically
Beerenwachs is a natural wax which contains few percent of unsaturated
fatty acids. Since it is neither subjected to hydrogenation nor heated to over
140°C during refining, trans fatty acid formation is not to be expected.
Berrywax does not contain refined edible fat or oil, therefore Glycidyl Esters
and 3-MCPD fatty acid esters are not expected in the product. Tests are not
carried out.
Formaldehyde / Formaldehyde and formaldehyde releaser are not added to the product during
