From the beginning of Lavera, our main focus has always been production without artificial preservatives, additives, petroleum-based ingredients, dyes or perfumes. Instead, we are using skin-friendly ingredients extracted only from natural sources as high quality plant extracts from certified organic farming. In order to assure the highest quality, dermatological tests are done on human volunteers only. Over the last 12 years, we have received more than 85 awards from "OEKO-TEST", the most critical environmental consumer magazine in Germany. We were ranked more than 85 times in the highest possible category "Recommended" after analysis of our ingredients, their health tolerance and an ecological evaluation of our packaging materials. We don’t use petrochemicals, parabens, artificial (not even nature identical) flavours, colours, aromas, no sodium lauryl / laureth sulphate. The alcohol used for preservation is of a quality suitable for human consumption. Our increasing use of innovative technology has enabled withdrawal of emulsifiers on some products. Many of the herbal and plant derived ingredients are organic (certified by Ecocert) and marked on the ingredients list.
